Hi, I’m Giamma
I’ve lived in Siena for 28 years
I speak English, French, Italian and some Spanish, German
I am a Professor at University
Ciao, I’m Gianmarco, and I love sharing the timeless charm of Siena - a city where history, tradition, and joy blend beautifully in every piazza and “contrada”. I’m endlessly fascinated by the Palio and the life of the neighborhoods, where pride and community thrive. As a certified olive oil sommelier and wine student, I enjoy introducing guests to Tuscany’s authentic flavors - from rustic ciaccini to a perfect glass of Chianti. Whether we’re exploring secret courtyards, uncovering stories of medieval rivalries, or relaxing at my favorite local bar, I aim to make every experience feel warm, personal and deeply Sienese.
