Hello to you! I am Federica and I am an art historian and official guide. I am of Sicilian origin but when I was 13 I fell in love with this city and I decided that I would live there when I grew up. I love the fact that everything in Rome exudes art, it is a city rich in history and with every corner to discover. In my tours I would like to help people get to know this city by also offering advice on where to eat, where to shop, how to get around etc. I like to meet new people, discover other cultures and share my knowledge about the city :)

Tour description

Guided tour to discover St. Peter!
Together we will go through the history of this which is the largest basilica in the world. It will be like walking through history savoring a place that is almost 2000 years old.
I will tell you about the huge construction enterprise that has seen a great competition between artists and popes, we will see in detail some of the most beautiful works of art, all enriched by anecdotes and curiosities that few know.
Think this masterpiece was waxed because St. Peter was martyred on this place and since then it has always been the destination of great pilgrimages.

If you want to discover the secrets of the Vatican, the smallest state in the world, choose me and you will be amazed by how everything here is a symbol of something else!

Ps: I do well to take pictures so with me you will have some good memories to show to friends.
