About me

Ciao my name is Elisabetta, born and raised in Florence, a true lover of art and history I became a tour guide because this was my dream since my adolescence . I am a passionate reader and storyteller, I love looking for curiosities and anecdotes to be shared with my guests, I must confess I have a deep obsession for the Medici family which became the main subject of my historical research several years ago.
