Hi, I’m Massimo – I’ve been working as a licensed tour guide in Rome since 2008, but that’s just part of the story. I’m a historian with a background in acting, and that mix really comes through in my tours.
I don’t just talk about the past – I bring it to life. When I tell stories about people from ancient times, I get totally into it. I become the characters, act out their struggles, and share their emotions. That’s why I prefer to call myself a storyteller, not just a tour guide.
Sure, I’ve got all the official credentials and can take you through iconic places like the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Vatican Museums, and the Borghese Gallery. But what really drives me is changing the way people think about history.
I want to bust the myth that history – and guided tours – are boring. History is full of real people who lived, loved, fought, and changed the world. Some were way ahead of their time, and thanks to them we have many of the rights and technologies we enjoy today.
That’s what inspires me: finding those forgotten stories and sharing them in a way that connects with people. You don’t need to be a history expert to enjoy my tours – just come ready to hear a great story.
These tours don’t just make history more exciting – they’ve also made me a better person and a more passionate guide.
So, to anyone who thinks history is dull… I dare you to join me on a storytelling tour. Let me prove you wrong!
