Why me?

I have lived in Rome for 15 years. I live next door to the Colosseum and have walked almost every street in the historic center. 


I stayed in Rome throughout Italy’s 2020 strict lockdown and for the slow one step forward two steps back reopening. I know who has survived this challenging time and is ready to welcome back thoughtful visitors. I know what is open and when. I know about the museums and art exhibits that need advance reservations.

I can tell you where to eat near the Fontana di Trevi and who is the best guide for a spin around the Vatican museums or a market tour of Trastevere. 


Want to hear about a church built by grocers or where to find the relics of Saint Valentine? I’m your girl. 


I don’t book hotels, but I can tell you about some great ones. 


I don't handle transportation or transfers, but if you want that, I know the person who does.

What about Venice? 

I am careful not to call myself a Venice expert because I live on terra-firma, but I can find my way around the maddening beautiful Serenissima. 


I know about private dinners in Venetian gardens and an appointment-only quirky art collection on a lagoon island. I can point you in the direction of glassblowers, fishermen, and jazz musicians.

And Ponza? 

I am an expert on the island of Ponza

    1. Hi Barry:

      You do not have to isolate if you take one of the approved Covid-free flights. Check with American/Delta/Alitalia for more details
