"Beyond that door lies an unknown world
where we can become immortal if we choose"

-Linda Lappin, The Etruscan

Yesterday, my son and I sitting in the shadow of imposing 'Porta all'Arco', a must see in Volterra, fascinating and mysterious Etruscan hilltop town, located 1h drive from Pisa ❤

"Embracing diversity is one adventure after another, opening new paths of discovery that connect an understanding to caring, listening and sharing with others who are different than ourselves" - April Holland

Yesterday I had the pleasure of guiding four lovely ladies from Dubai in the 'field of miracles' of Pisa.
What I liked most of the time we spent together it was the natural way we went beyond the tour, sharing opinions about our culture and tradition with curiosity and an 'open heart' ! It was an amazing and special time.
Thank you so much Sara, Lara, Lama and Mahnaz ❤

❣Baci, it was so nice to see you and your human, Catherine, in Sarzana this morning.We had a wonderful time at the oldest cafè running in the city center and then strolling around lanes, alleys and little squares together! ❤ 😍🥰❤

We got to meet up with the human’s friend Martina of who she’s known for over 11 years. She’s an art historian and sought after tour guide in Pisa, Cinque Terre, Lucca, San Gimignano, Volterra and Sarzana. In fact, she even toured Rick Steves years ago and is featured in his books. So lovely to see her and catch up!

"The most beautiful things in life
are not just things.
They're people, and places,
memories and pictures.
They're feeling and moments and
smile and laughter".

Yesterday it was an amazing and special Ferragosto to me!
Eleven years ago, thanks to I had the pleasure and honour to guide two American beautiful family in Pisa ( Tuscany) and Portovenere (Gulf of La Spezia - Liguria Region - Italian Riviera): we made friends at first sight! And we have been in touch up to date talking often to each other, despite there was not any chance to meet again...until last winter when I was in Florence and saw Michael, Ken's smart son and now great Chef, and met his sweet fiancee Erin!
Then, last Spring a member of the other family, Christy, wrote me about her summer vacation in Italy, expressing the desire to visit Cinque Terre.. and yesterday, after 11 years, Christy, her adorable husband, Jonathan, and I had a wonderful and adventurous day in Cinque Terre and...eventually in Portovenere! Due to an unforseen sea storm, while on board of the ferry boat, we could not land neither in Manarola nor in Riomaggiore and had to head to Porto Venere, Portus of Venus, the god of Love! It was written in the stars that Christy and I had to be back there together after 11 years! What a blast! ❤

"Di giugno dovi una montagnetta
coperta di bellissimi arbuscelli,
con trenta ville e dodici castelli
che siano intorno ad una cittadetta,
c'abbiamo nel mezzo una fontanetta"

"I Greci cercavano di fare impressione, gli Etruschi no. Le cose che essi fecero nei loro facili secoli sono naturali e facili come il respiro. Lasciavano che il respiro uscisse libero e agevole con una certa dose di vitalità. Anche le tombe. E queste sono le vere qualità etrusche: facilità, naturalezza, abbondanza di vita e nessun bisogno di forzare la mente e lo spirito in una qualsiasi direzione. E la morte, per gli Etruschi, era una piacevole continuazione della vita, con i gioielli e il vino e i flauti che sonavano per la danza. Non era né un estasi di felicità, un paradiso, né un purgatorio di tormento. Era soltanto la naturale continuazione della pienezza della vita" - D. H. Laurence

My guiding season 2024 started yesterday with an amazing full day tour of Pisa and Lucca! 🤎
Thanks to the recommendation of a special person and friend of mine, I had the pleasure to meet and guide Megan and Matt, a lovely couple from Canada.
It was a delight to share my knowledge with them, besides learning details about their country and discussing interesting topics together!
What a memorable day! 🌻
