"Bongiorno, signorina! (good morning, Miss)" The guard at the door of the museum says smiling when I reach him
"Bongiorno, Alfredo" I reply smiling back, as I show him my badge for him to scan it

"Vado subito, grazie (I'm going immediately, thanks)" I reply and go inside
"Good morning, you needed me?" I ask as I reach the director
"Good morning! Yes, I want a favor"

"Good morning everyone, my name is Sandra and I'll be your guide for today. I'm not an actual guide, I'm an art curator with a Master's in Italian Art History, but I know everything about this museum and, of course, its exhibits, so trust me.
