Kate Ann Louise Bolton
Kate (M.Phil.) lectures in Music & Cultural History at various prestigious institutions in Florence, including the British Institute, New York University and the Istituto Lorenzo de’Medici. She is also a licenced Italian tour guide.
Before moving to Italy in 2007, she was Senior Producer for BBC Arts and Music and, for 10 years, she was Artistic Director of the Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music in London. Her post-graduate thesis (1992) led her into the fascinating world of late medieval Florence, via the shadowy, poet-composer Don Paolo da Firenze, since when she has published extensively as an academic, a critic and a journalist.
Kate Ann was fabulous. She kept our 3 kids and us completely engaged. We learned so much and had a fabulous time!
Kate provided us with an excellent tour of the Uffizi gallery. This was our third tour with context at the Uffizi. Kate’s breath of knowledge was astounding and built on our previous experiences. We are grateful that Kate was our docent today.
Kate was fantastic, so knowledgeable and fascinating , I did not want it to be over!
