Micaela Pavoncello, a proud Roman Jew, was born and raised in Rome. She studied Art History at the city's university, driven by her deep love for Rome. Through her travels to Argentina and Israel, she connected with diverse Jewish communities and shared her own story. Realizing the extraordinary nature of the Jewish Community of Rome, she founded Jewish Roma Walking Tours in 2003. Simultaneously, Micaela worked at MACRO, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, where she engaged with artists, collectors, curators, and visitors worldwide. Her research at the central Archive of Rome explored her family's experiences during the ghetto era. Micaela's passion for preserving Rome's Jewish heritage fuels her dedication to sharing its remarkable story. Learn more HERE: https://www.jewishroma.com
