Francesca

I'm an art historian specialized in the Middle Ages. I enhanced my knowledge of Medieval phrases during my work experiences at the Church of San Cataldo, an example of the Arab-Norman style, and at the Palazzo Chiaramonte-Steri, a model of "Chiaramontana" architecture. In the latter site, I did many years of research regarding the Spanish Inquisition and for this reason, I co-wrote a book on this topic in collaboration with a team of researchers from the University of Palermo.

I love my job as tour guide because I see it as an opportunity for a cultural exchange between my Sicilian origin and other foreign cultures. I live every guided tour as if it was my first one, which gives me the opportunity to learn new experiences.

Best tour ... with more to come
We are two couples traveling Sicily for the first time. We had a fabulous tour of Palermo and Monreale with Francesca and look forward to others in Agrigento and Ragusa. Recommend highly!!!
