Hi, I’m Chiara
I’ve lived in Bologna for 26 years
I speak English, Italian
I am Museum employee and tour guide
Born and raised in Bologna, I've spent most of my life in my hometown from the Two Towers to the outskirts and hill. Started off as a humanist and amateur writer keen on Cultural Heritage, just to veer towards a bachelor degree in Geology, eventually finding the common ground between the two disciplines in science popularization. Good luck getting me to shut up about how rocks made history!

We had a great time on our tour with Chiara. She showed us all of the main sights and had so much historical information to share. We learned about a lot of smaller details that probably wouldn't be included on larger tours. The pace was comfortable, and we stopped for a nice lunch at the end. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it!

Chiara did a fantastic job of tailoring the tour specifically to my taste and also took time to explain all the facts as we made stops during the tour. I would not hesitate to recommend her for a tour to my friends and family in future
