Livia obtained a degree in Archaeology at the Sapienza University of Rome and has a Master's degree in the History and Conservation of Cultural Heritage from the University of Roma Tre. Her main field of interest is ancient Roman topography and early Christian architecture; however, she is an accomplished scholar whose teaching ability extends to the Renaissance and Baroque Rome. As a native Roman, Livia is very enthusiastic about sharing the deep love and knowledge she has for her hometown with clients.

Excellent presentation- makes it a fascinating place to visit!
Another wonderful tour with Dr. Galante; I always do these with the recording and I am always amazed at the history, pictures, local flavor, and factual presentations that she puts together. Her knowledge of not only this topic but her city generally is so impressive.
This was a wonderful lecture about one of my favorite churches in Rome, that is rarely visited by tourists. It is absolutely stunning. It is such a treat to be able to hear from an expert about the history of such an important basilica. Highly recommend
Livia is one our favorite lecturers at Context. Her enthusiasm, encyclopedic knowledge, and organized presentation make each conversation informative and engaging. We look forward to a tour in person with her when travel is possible again.
Livia Galante is an absorbed, articulate, concentrated archeologist and speaker, whose lecture on the Lateran Palace and Cathedral opened many new spaces for travelers. We learned a lot!
