My name is Duccio Tiracorrendo, I am an archaeologist and a qualified tour private guide of Florence and its Province. After the classical high school I spent five years at the University of Pisa, where I graduated in Classical Archaeology in 2006.
After graduating I continued my education, getting a Postgraduate Specialization diploma in Aegean Civilization at the same university. During and after university I participated in numerous archaeological excavations, in Tuscany and elsewhere in Italy, dealing with the documentation of findings and the study of prehistoric, Etruscan, Roman and medieval contexts. In 2011 I obtained a license to practice as an Official Tour Guide of Florence, passing a competition held by the Province of Florence. For several years I have been a member of the Associazione Nazionale Guide Turistiche and the World Federation of Tourist Guide Association. Along with my passion for antiquity and the great civilizations of the past I have cultivated that for my city, Florence, where I have the fortune to live and work every day. Admiring Brunelleschi's dome from the hills, strolling along the banks of the Arno at sunset, lingering on Ponte Vecchio to watch the city are experiences I wish everyone to experience at least once in their lifetime. If you want to share with me these interests, I will provide my skills and my passion so that your stay in Florence will remain engraved in your memory. Do not hesitate to contact me, I hope to meet you soon!
