I'm an archaeologist and a licensed guide. I was born and live in Pompeii where my family have been living since generations.

Contact me to visit the wonders of the Vesuvian archaeological sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Oplontis, the cities of Naples, Caserta, Sorrento and Salerno, Capri and the Amalfi Coast. I live my job with passion and satisfaction, and I can provide exclusive and tailor-made tours, projected according to your requirements.

Choosing my tours you will receive quality service and cultural enrichment.

I am a friendly and cheerful person and tend to treat my clients as if they were my friends. I like to give interesting insights of Italian life, and I'm always happy to offer advice.

I am used to work with small groups as well as big groups. I can guarantee punctuality, amusement, professionalism and cultural enrichment.

I started loving the history of my region when I was ten years old, and I found a piece of painted pottery on a small piece of land belonging to my family. For the whole of that day I kept this piece of history in my hands. I remember that it was decorated with a black figured scene of a Satyr driving a cart. The feeling I had when realized it was a genuine antique object was very strong, and I started asking myself many questions about the people who occupied that area across the centuries and, particularly, about the man who made such a beautiful piece of work. Since then I started collecting all sorts of pots and stones that I found while I wandered through the countryside. I used to divide my finds simply on the basis of their shape and color. They were the first steps of me becoming an archaeologist.

Working with tourists is for me a delight, I receive great satisfaction comparing myself with people having diverse cultures, and at the same time I'm proud to show them the beauty of my region.

A Recent Review of this guide

Emiliano designed this private tour for us so that we could visit a small town from which some of my ancestors emigrated. Emiliano arranged for a private car and driver, and deftly guided us around the town. We stopped at the city hall and he was able to get some additional documentation for us. He was quite persistent in tying to get access to the church where my ancestors were married. Although he was unsuccessful, we had a great time. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to do a similar tour.
