Let me show you around!
After finishing my Ancient History MPhil at Oxford University, I moved to Florence and then Rome, where I have been working as a tour guide and content consultant for nearly 10 years.
I’m an ETOA-certified guide with the Regional Park of the Appian Way (my favourite hidden gem in Rome), a tour leader for the American Council for International Studies, and a former lecturer at Sapienza University and the University of Tuscia.

I look forward to showing you around!
Hire me as your writer.
I balance my time between leading tours and writing compelling, characterful SEO-optimised content that embodies my clients’ businesses and engages their target audiences.
My specialism lies in travel and tourism, but my portfolio comprises hundreds of articles and printed publications on subjects ranging from history and culture to food and sustainability.
If you’re looking to refine your messaging in travel or tourism, get in touch and let’s team up! I look forward to working with you to deliver brand recognition and search engine success.

I had the pleasure of working with Alex for a year at Slow Food. He is a very detail-oriented person who is able to change the tone of every single text according to the input he is given. I really enjoyed his style of writing and editing to make texts more effective and appealing. Alex is also affable to work with, which makes this kind of work, which can often be stressful, much lighter and more manageable. If you are looking for a serious and reliable person, Alex is for you!

Professionalism and creativity come together perfectly in Alex's writing. He is always available, enthusiastic in the face of editorial challenges, and has showed great attention to detail and respect not only for deadlines but also for the starting brief. Wit and irony are additional integral to his personality, which made every chat with him pleasant and ended with a sincere laugh: a superfluous detail, but essential in teamwork!
