Miravilius Startup Offers Live Virtual Tours for Accessible Cultural Travel

Miravilius, a startup founded by Massimiliano La Rocca, has launched a live streaming platform that enables virtual guided tours of cities, museums, and cultural sites worldwide. The service, available in Italian, Spanish, and English, allows users to interact with on-site guides in real time via Zoom. After registering on the website, users can purchase passes lasting 7, 30, or 90 days and join scheduled tours by clicking 'watch now live on Zoom.' The initiative aims to make cultural experiences accessible to those who cannot travel due to age, mobility issues, or economic constraints. Miravilius has partnered with RSA Casa Sacro Cuore di Pianello del Lario (Congregazione delle Suore Guanelliane) to take 25 residents over 80 on a virtual trip to Paris, and with Volunteers Foundation, a UK nonprofit, to bring 25 teenagers from Nairobi slums on a Live Tour to Cape Town. La Rocca states the project supports the tourism sector by employing guides in Italy and abroad, especially in destinations reliant on international tourism. The platform also promotes interest in undiscovered places worldwide.
