Valentina was born and raised in Florence. When she was a child, she would walk the streets of the city centre with her mother, who would tell her stories while taking her to the museums and marvelous churches of this city. This is how she was introduced to Brunelleschi, the Medici, Michelangelo, and many other characters who made Florence so great. She fell in love with her city and, after living abroad to improve her language skills, she came back to Florence and chose to turn her passion into a profession. She became a tour guide in 2010, and is truly passionate and enthusiastic about her job. She is honored and proud to share Florence's beauty and fascinating stories to people from all over the world.
