Meet Silvia: Your Polyglot Guide & Professional “Tuscan Dreamer”
Ciao! I’m Silvia Iovino, and I don’t just show you Florence and Prato—I translate their soul for you.
With a degree in Russian Literature and a career that spans from the halls of the Court of Prato as a legal translator to the high-pressure world of international business interpreting, I’ve turned my passion for languages into my life’s work. Whether you speak English, French, Russian, or Italian, we’ll never have a “lost in translation” moment!
Why tour with me?
Because I believe the best way to discover Italy is through its stories, its flavors, and its “hidden” rhythms. When I’m not translating for art exhibitions or teaching Italian to newcomers, you’ll likely find me:
  • Behind the wheel of my vintage Fiat 500, cruising through the Tuscan hills (yes, it’s as cinematic as it sounds!).
  • Hunting for treasures at local antique markets—I have a weak spot for objects with a past.
  • Slow-traveling with my dog, scouting the perfect spot for a glass of local wine and some traditional cucina povera.
I’m a licensed guide, a professional linguist, and a lover of the “good life.” My mission? To make you fall in love with my home, one secret corner and one vintage vibe at a time.
Ready to explore Tuscany like a local? Let’s hit the road!
