ART HISTORY
If you're interested in art, history, design, or world travel, then these Zoom tours are for you!
Luca, your personal art historian, gives you a foundational understanding of art in Rome through tine—a view from the West—in context of art, culture and innovation in the East. Join your friends on a transformative journey of learning and discovery from antiquity to present-day Rome.
Art in Rome Through Time: A 4-session course that explores Western art history from antiquity until now, centered in Rome, Italy, and presented in context of a global timeline that includes China, Japan, and the Middle East. It's art and history, but it's presented in a completely new, refreshing and engaging way. It's truly transformational!
Art Around the World: Designed as a 4-session course, Luca uses online tools to virtually visit iconic artists' work in museums, churches and neighborhoods around the world. Leonardo in Milan. Michelangelo in Rome. Velázquez in Madrid. Botticelli in Florence. Be there virtually--it's a revelation in Zoom travel, you really must give this a go!

VIRTUAL WALKING TOURS - ROME
The streets of Rome are open and once again full of life, art, history, beauty and Romans enjoying simple pleasures: an evening stroll, browsing in shops, an aperitivo with friends.
A certified tour guide and art historian, Luca shares the art, history, food, spirit and culture of the Eternal City, live via Zoom.
Monuments & Sites: Join Luca for a virtual passeggiata—a neighborhood sunset stroll—to see Rome's iconic monuments. The Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain; Ancient Rome, including the Colosseum and Forum; St. Peter's Square; and the Pantheon.
Street Art & Local Culture: Find the real Italy! Luca takes you on a walking tour of the art on the walls of Rome’s “quartieri,” historically working-class industrial neighborhoods, now open-air museums thanks to the works of local and international street artists. Explore food, spirits and local hot spots too!
Private Tours: Take a private walk to anywhere your heart desires. Just drop Luca a Google map pin and you're virtually there.

VIRTUAL WALKING TOURS - TUSCANY
Explore one of the most beautiful places on Earth—Siena and the Val d’Orcia in Tuscany—full of friendly locals, ancient traditions, surviving WWII, and thriving now as UNESCO World Heritage sites. Imagine a chaotic, medieval-style Palio horse race held in the city center, Contrade (neighborhood) traditions and rivalries, set amidst verdant rolling hills, family farms, vineyards, and a bounty of art, history, food and Nobile wine. La dolce vida indeed!
A certified tour guide and forever Sienese, Chiara Fanti shares the history, food, spirit and culture of her native Tuscany.
Siena, A Love Story: Chiara shares her love of Siena, la più bella delle città—the most beautiful of cities. See why Chiara, and so many of her friends have chosen stay, live, work and play here. Hint: It’s a little bit pazzo (crazy).
Chiara's Beautiful Tuscany: Join Chiara for a virtual passeggiata—a sunset stroll through picturesque Tuscan hill towns. Hear about the history, see the major sites, visit local spots for food and wine, and raise a glass to friends. Salut!
Private Tours: Take a private walk to anywhere your heart desires. Just drop Chiara a Google map pin and you're virtually there.
