Introduction:

I moved to London from Rome in 1994 - 1,950 years after my ancestors founded it!

Over the years I have become increasingly intrigued by London's extraordinary history, so I decided to train as a tourist guide, embarking on the Blue Badge course (which turned out to be one of the most rewarding -if challenging!- things I had ever done) and qualified in 2013.

There's so much to like about London; the exotic markets, the hidden alleyways, the churches drenched in history, the views from the Thames, the ever changing skyline, the grand theatres, the vintage shops, the captivating street art, the underground buskers and the fabulously eclectic architecture.
I am passionate about this city -which I have grown to call my own- and her ability to evolve, whilst simultaneously cherishing her glorious past.
London never ceases to amaze and dazzle and I enjoy nothing better than to share my enthusiasm and knowledge with others.

What more is there to say? I look forward to showing you around!

Originario di Roma, mi sono trasfefito a Londra nel 1994 (1950 anni dopo che i miei antenati la fondarono!). Attraverso gli anni sono diventato sempre piu affascinato dalla storia di Londra. E cosi' ho deciso di diventare guida turistica, iscrivendomi al famoso corso 'Blue Badge', che si e' rivelato essere la cosa piu' difficile -e piu' appagante!- che abbia mai fatto! Amo cosi' tante cose di Londra: i suoi mercati esotici, i vicoli nascosti, le chiese immerse nella storia, il panorama dal Tamigi, i negozietti 'vintage', i grandiosi teatri, i musicisti dell'Underground, l'incredibile arte graffiti, l'architettura eclettica.
Ho una vera e propria passione per questa citta' e la sua abilita' di cambiare, mentre, contemporaneamente fa' tesoro del proprio glorioso passato.
Londra non smette mai di sorprendere e folgorare! E niente mi soddisfa di piu' di condividere il mio entusiasmo e conoscenza con gli altri.

Che altro dire? Spero presto di farvi vedere Londra!

I am fascinated by Street Art in all its varied forms and how it developed from its beginnings from 'graffiti' to 'guerrilla art' to the more contemporary expressions which have begun to be increasingly accepted by the local authorities.

Music

I am knowledgeable and passionate about British rock and its history from the beginnings in the 1950's to the present day.
