ANNACHIARA
my story
Ciao! My name is Annachiara, born and raised in Turin, Italy. Many years ago I moved to Venice in order to study at Ca Foscari University where I took my masters degree in Art History and Conservation of Cultural Heritage. After that I realized that I wanted to share my passion, enthusiasm and knowledge about Venice with other people! The best part of my job is creating new and unconventional itineraries out of the stereotypes of the most labyrintic city in the world, meeting curious and happy people who want to interact with a local and learn about history. I look forward to guiding you on your next adventure.
