Hi!

About
My name is Manuela Castagnola. I am a tour guide, a glass artist, a restorer, a teacher… in short, a mix of passions that blend and complement each other wonderfully. I obtained an honors thesis on the Art Nouveau style in my province and spent years abroad studying three languages, which I now speak fluently in addition to Italian.
My excellent predisposition for human relationships and unstoppable gab have earned me the title of “real tourist guide”. I obtained the official qualification in 2010, with European validity. I have been Pavese for generations, I know every corner and every secret of my territory.
I love Pavia, and for me transmitting this passion represents the greatest satisfaction. I work collaborating with esteemed colleagues and I will be attentive to your needs and will create a tailor-made visit for you.
