"We had a great time with Lucia in the Scuola Grande San Rocco. She’s great company and hugely knowledgable. Despite having read up quite a lot before hand, we learnt lots of new things. She’s very good at interpreting the paintings as well as telling you about the history. Our sense was that she was particularly good at being able to adapt what she says to the existing knowledge of her audience, which we found really helpful. Suspect she’d be just as good with people who know very little as those who know a lot! Mille Grazie Lucia, it was delightful to meet you and we had a lovely time!"
"Our entire group were enthralled with Lucia’’s Venice biennale Collateral art venue tour! She set the stage with some important historical facts and encouraged us to see the Accademia artworks to provide a basis for the contemporary art we were about to see.
We were taken to off the track places providing a range of different Biennale artworks and also venues that were special in their own right. Favourites were the art school installation and the Nigerian Pavilion.
Lucia gave us some tips of venues to see beyond the tour. Lucia gave a tour from an authentically Venetian perspective and her love for the city shone through.
We could not recommend her more highly!"
"We had a fantastic time touring around Venice with Lucia. She was very accomodating, reaching out already in advance and trying to provid us with the best experience possible by adapting the tour to our personal interests. For the tour she came well prepared and ready to answer all our questions. Lucia knows so much more about the different details and meanings displayed in art works or on buildings than you would find in a standard printed tour guide, along with her excitement and passion it was a real treat discovering Venice with her and we can highly recommend her.

History of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco
Founded in the 15th century, the Scuola Grande di San Rocco was a confraternity dedicated to St. Roch, protector against the plague. This powerful institution commissioned the city's greatest artists.
Tintoretto's Masterpiece: The Scuola Grande
The Scuola Grande di San Rocco is famously called 'Tintoretto's Sistine Chapel.' The artist Jacopo Tintoretto dedicated over 20 years of his life to decorating its walls and ceilings with stunning scenes.
The Art of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco
The paintings inside are not just decorations; they tell a powerful story. From the Crucifixion to the Life of Christ, Tintoretto's dramatic use of light and shadow will leave you speechless.
St. Roch: Protector of Venice
Saint Roch was a symbol of hope for Venetians during devastating plagues. The Scuola Grande was built in his honor, and his relics are housed in the adjacent church. Feel the deep history in these halls.
A Taste of Venice Near the Scuola Grande

Truly venitian and art conoceur
"The tour with Lucia was amazing. After taking us to the Gallery of Academia and taught us a lot of history of art, Lucia walk us through the heart of Dorsoduro and showed us a few secrets of the city. Always with a smile on her face, she also gave us some great tips for the rest of our stay. We definitely recommend everyone to book a walking tour with Lucia. Good value for money."
"Lucia was absolutely lovely to work with. Lucia engaged the kids and took them on a cultural treasure hunt. She was amazing and had so much energy. She was very knowledgeable and kind and our children ( ages 8,10,13) really loved her. I would highly recommend a tour with Lucia."
