I am an old lady, not good at crowds or steps . I was lucky enough to have Alex Paolini as my driver and he made the experience truly memorable. First we stopped at Santa Maria degli Angeli, which I had never heard of that was much less crowded and truly beautiful. Later we went to a small town, Amelia, Alex provided pizza and gelato for lunch. He must be the kindest man in Rome. He has endless patience and doesn’t mind going slowly. I really recommend him for anyone with mobility problems
