Born in Lucca, I have become a real Florentine lady after 35 years of my life spent in the amazing capital city of Tuscany. Since 1998 I have been a passionate guide of Florence and its sorroundings, at ease with the most visited museums and places, as well as with off-the-beaten-path routes or picturesque hidden corners.

Hi, I am Rosella. I am working as a tour guide since 2016. I love my job because it gives me always the possibility to improve my beloved languages ( Deutsch, English, français, español and Italiano). I got also the license for teaching "Pilates Matwork". My hobbies are singing and knitting. I studied history of art and touristic subjects. I am living in the Chianti Classico area.
