As a devoted father of three beautiful children and husband to an amazing wife, my life is a blend of family adventures and deep-rooted passion for travel. We've journeyed together across the globe, embracing new cultures and experiences, a testament to our love for exploration. My story begins in the vibrant streets of Santa Monica, LA, where I ended up my study in Art History and Archaeology at UCSD in San Diego. Today, I stand proud as a Neapolitan Brigand, dedicated to unveiling the authentic story of southern Italy's rich history and culture. My childhood was a tale of two worlds: the lively, bustling streets of Naples and the serene, picturesque island of Capri, where my mother's roots allowed me to experience a contrasting lifestyle of tranquility and beauty. These diverse experiences, coupled with my extensive travels, have shaped me into a person who connects easily with people from all walks of life, ensuring my guests feel at ease and fully immersed in their journey from the moment we meet. In 2000, I attained my official tourist guide license for the Campania Region, a milestone that deepened my love for the archaeological wonders of Pompeii and Herculaneum. With me as your guide, you'll explore the hidden treasures of these ancient sites, uncovering stories and secrets that go beyond the usual tourist paths. Choosing this profession again in another life? Without a doubt. The joy of sharing my homeland's beauty, history, and culture is unmatched.
