Caterina Sopradassi
Licensed tour guide in Venice
Tour guide by passion, since 2015, after leaving teaching, I have devoted myself body and soul to the profession with the aim of sharing and inspiring love for the places I feel belong to me. My regular work has led me to experience the timeless beauty of Venice. However, I have not forgotten my roots: I continue to explore routes and themes that allow me to stay connected to my Venetian identity in Veneto and my Friulian-Venetian identity in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
I am currently developing itineraries that, through the senses and emotions, offer the opportunity to see and explore the worlds of our past.
I am enthusiastic about new discoveries and throw myself into the ventures of my life with energy. In my free time I practice meditation, love being in contact with nature, and breathe and live the perfect fragilities of the human being.
I have been a tour guide since 2000. Under the former regional regulations, between 2000 and 2007 I obtained qualifications for Treviso, Eastern Veneto and the city of Venice. I have always combined my profession with a path of personal growth. I first worked as a foreign-language teacher in technical institutes; later, I wanted to become an interpreter of the harmony I experience in the spaces of my region. I have refined my path of knowledge while continually deepening my interest in the paths of the soul. Venice and its mysteries have inspired me to travel through time and space.
