Private Guide in Italy, Venice: Fiona Giusto

   
    Ciao,
    I am a professional, authorized English and German speaking guide in Venice, Italy and in the lagoon (Murano, Burano and Torcello). 
    I would be pleased to guide families with children / bigger parties / groups through Venice during 2008 or 2009 !!!
    Please find below a brief outline of my studies : - degree in Foreign Languages and Literature at Ca' Foscari University in Venice with 110 cum laude/110; - High School for Tourism in Venice with 60/60.
I started working as a professional guide in Spring 2000 after having passed a difficult examination.

    'Three thousand ducats, well', this is what Shylock says to Bassanio in the Merchant of Venice in a street, possibly by the Rialto Bridge. 
    Milion of visitors a year see these landmarks. 
    But what about the silent hidden treasure of Venice ?
    The delightful cycle of paintings of one of the first travellers, the Archangel Raffael in the omonimous church ?
    The marbled coatings inside the Church of Mary of Miracles ?
    But Venice is not only art and architecture…
    What about the small wine bars with bowls hanging down from the ceiling that offer fish apetizers such as marinated sardines, toasted bread with shrimps and polenta ?
    What about the Lido beach with the massive boulders placed for protection, the fine sand overlooking the Adriatic sea, and the Art Nouveau Villas ?
    Some historians believe the name of the Most Serene Republic means veni etiam ' return, therefore come back one more time' ... 
    Also we could visit a lot of other tours - full information you could find at my site.

    I am looking forward guiding you and having fun with you !!!
    Best regards, Fiona Giusto
