I am an archaeologist and a licensed guide. I grew up on the western slopes of Etna, but in the last years I also lived in different cities of Italy where I studied and worked as archaeologist. I graduated in Humanieties at University of Rome, I hold a specialization in Prehistory at the University of Milan and a PhD at University of Trento where I have been involved in several project about pottery technic production and experimental archaeology. I have a long experience in archaeological excavations in Italy and abroad (Turkey, Switzerland) and in the study of rock art engravings in the first Unesco heritage site of Italy (Valcamonica). I collaborated with several museums, universities and associations and since I came back to Sicily as a Tour Guide I really love to share my knowledge on many aspects of Sicilian Culture. I do tours mainly in eastern Sicily (Taormina, Catania, Siracusa and several other town).
