Cecilia

Cecilia is an art historian and a native Roman with a Master's degree in Medieval and Renaissance art from the Sapienza University of Rome. Although her specialty is painting and decorative arts, she has a broad knowledge of the history of Rome and a personal passion for ancient history, which she shares on many antiquity-themed itineraries. Cecilia has worked actively in the past as a lecturer, teacher, and curator of exhibitions. She had been a staff member of the didactive service of the Vatican Museums, the Galleria Doria Pamphili and the Galleria Colonna where she still frequently consults. As a licensed guide for Rome and Florence and with a specialized teaching degree, she has more than 20 years of experience in leading highly-qualified tours.

In this lecture, we will cover an array of insider tips and tricks to enhance your visit to landmarks such as the Colosseum and the Vatican, but also expose lesser-known monuments that are equally worth a visit. We'll also discover off the beaten path trips to destinations that are local favorites, and learn practical trip-planning tips. Led by a native Roman and expert on Italian culture, this talk will dive into Rome's most iconic sights and also look beyond them to propose additional truly memorable experiences for the sophisticated traveler.

Given the overwhelming number of treasures in Rome, Ms Martini was ingenious to reimagine the "top ten" not as individual sites, but as ten categories. In each of these categories she introduced several sites. I'd recommend this to anyone who is about to take a first trip to Rome to help them sort through what interests them the most. I'd also recommend it to a veteran visitor for the sheer delight of seeing old favorites and learning about new places too.

Enjoyable overview of Rome by Cecilia Martini --- well organized and presented with lots of content. Going to Rome in December and expect to put some of Cecilia's ideas into trip. I have also signed up for two Context tours while there and hope to get Cecilia as guide.
