VIDEO CALL Mara

Hey there! I'm Mara, your local host here in beautiful Florence! This city has stolen my heart from the mouthwatering food and rich wine culture to the vibrant arts scene and stunning architecture. One of my favorite pastimes is strolling through the streets at sunset, soaking in the beauty of this magical place before enjoying an aperitivo with friends. I'm passionate about the performing arts and love attending shows whenever I can. You can find me in Centro, Santo Spirito, or Oltrarno in Florence, or perhaps in the historic neighborhoods of Bologna like Santo Stefano and Quartiere Saragozza. Consider me your go-to expert for all things Bologna! Whether you're in search of the best food and wine spots, hidden gems, or fascinating curiosities, I've got you covered. Let's make unforgettable memories together in this incredible city!
