Paola Virgilio Tour Guide

On returning home to Sicily, Paola went through the process of obtaining official qualification as a tour guide, achieving the goal in 2017. Her educational and academic research background is in contemporary theatre and performing arts: while away from Sicily she graduated with a Master’s Degree in Arts and Theatre at Bologna University, and she’s performed in both Palermo and Milan Opera Houses, worked as a cultural promoter on and off stage and participates in various community projects. Working as a guide allows her to indulge a long-standing passion for her homeland, and she’s led many tours related not just to archaeology, but also cuisine, nature, literature and the arts.
