Sergio Grom

I was born on October 18, 1949 in Rome, where most time I lived before moving beginning of 2024 to Bracciano, a lake some 30 miles north of Rome: sun and sea please me a lot so, whenever I can, you can find me there. . !! Even if my teaching experiences lasted only a few months when, during Covid lockdown, I taught Italian for foreigners, most of my colleagues call me: "The Professor", may be because of my University Degree in History, or may be because I look pretty serious! To tell the truth I have a deep sense of Humour, expecially when I talk about our politicians (anyway no big effort in laughing about them!!)

I started working in tourism in 1970 (for Hertz rent a car). In 1980 I moved to the Reception of a centrally located Hotel in Rome (front desk staff). In 1987 I've got my licence as a Italy and Europe Tour Guide.

In the following 20 years (Oh mamma mia!) I worked mainly leading Tours in Italy and Europe, but in the last ten years, as a licensed Tour Guide mostly in Rome only: I love this caotic city! A great mixture of past, present and, why not, future! One day I was leading as a location manager (I did that too!) a BBC crew filming here by the Campo dei Fiori fruit and vegetable market. Talking with one of the speakers I told him that Rome: "Is like a beautiful woman, sometimes you hate her, but you can't live without her" He liked this so much that he wanted me to repeat it in front of the video camera: what a shame!!!

Readers: do not hesitate to contact me for any curiosity, info, request you might have: your questions are more then welcome and dear to me. .

By the way my wife is a musician (baroque violinist) so we might also offer private concerts as well. .

I like cooking, good food, good wines, good music, singing, traveling, taking pictures, reading, watching old movies and: writing novels! All of them published on Amazon Kindle under my name: Sergio Grom. For just one I’ve used as a pen name Sergej Nabergoj.
