Paola Artizzu is a local tour guide in L'Aquila, Italy offering private tours and excursions

I was born in a small Medieval village near Rome and has lived in many different cities in Italy. I graduated with a degree in Art History in Naples. These special life experiences make me an unusual guide. I have what Claude Levi-Strauss called a "view from afar," by which I can appreciate and share local culture without bias. After working at a university for a few years, I decided to focus on heritage education, by working as a licensed guide, specializing in museums, galleries and archeological sites.
