Hello! I am a certified tour guide and I love to propose original itineraries to discover the city with new eyes. I was born in Cagliari, Sardinia, and there I earned my first degree in Literature with a specialization in History of Art. I moved to Bologna 15 years ago and took another degree at DAMS (Theater, Music and Multimedia Production). I love sport and wellness (I am also a personal trainer with a degree in sports science), I think the best way to face the days is to smile at life and take a nice walk! My tours are a mix of classic and unusual ranging from famous squares to lesser known but beautiful places. In the winter I work in Bologna and in the summer you find me in Cagliari. I wait for you to discover the wonders of these beautiful cities!

Tour description

La Certosa Monumentale è il primo cimitero  fuori dalle mura della città a partire dai primi decenni del XIX secolo (1801). Si sviluppa su ben 30 ettari di terreno, area in cui fin dal ‘300 sorgeva uno dei più importanti monasteri Certosini e si possono ammirare più di 6000 tombe artistiche, per mano di oltre 200 scultori.
Chiostri, portici, imponenti statue, raccontano la storia di Bologna, di famiglie di imprenditori famosi, artisti e persone comuni che sono state celebrate con suggestive e appassionate opere.
Preparatevi per un viaggio emozionale unico  nel suo genere, ripercorrendo la storia del monastero e del cimitero più famoso d’Europa.
