Follow your dreams: a trip feeds heart and mind through beauty
This genuine passion is right here, in front of you through the pictures I’ve been taking in the past 18 years of experience through the alleys, smaller museums and secret archives of Florence.
I hope these pics can inspire your next trip to Florence to visit the city center, its gardens and the green sorroundings, walking or hiking together according to your pace and interests.
Florence will never cease to amaze me! Your unique trip has just started,
See you in Florence!!!

- 2021 – Another License! Yes, we’ve all been through a crazy year. I was very lucky to find my own space in enchanted century old Tuscan forests where I spent this strange year.

Horizons are wider, I look forward to welcoming you not only in Florence but also in the most secret gardens, peaceful woods outside the city gates, and at the lesser known art sites spread out in this amazing region!
