Even as a young child I was always fascinated by art and history and the stories bound up with the places I visited. I enjoy art tours to which I add food and wine, an important part of life in this Italian region, and I firmly believe that it is vital to actually ‘taste’ the places you visit !

Elena Bonilauri

I studied foreign literature in Milan and my interest in history, art and music led me to choose the profession of tourist guide way back in 1995. I live in Busseto and Giuseppe Verdi and Opera music are my twin passions and over the years I have been lucky enough to work with young opera singers in singing academies..
