Hi everybody, my name is Marcello. I'm specialized in high grade archeological and historical tours. Born and raised in Naples and belonging to a very old Neapolitan famiIy I've got the official license of Professional Tour Guide in 2000. Archaeological and historical tours are my core business but always based on keeping my clients "AWAY FROM THE MASSIVE TOURISM". I love my job. I love my country. I love giving not simple orientations but the "real essence" of every single spot you are interested in, observing all safety measures to reduce the Covid19 diffusion. My range of activities is the whole Campania Region, including all its archaeological and historical sites, like Pompeii, Herculaneum, Napoli, Paestum, royal palaces and museums. I'm also specialized in the painting of '500 and '600, like Caravaggio, Tiziano, Raffaello, Jusepe de Ribeira, Battistello Caracciolo, and all the painters who" mastered the light". In 2015 I've got specialization in roman currency as well. I do cooperate with the U. S. Syracuse University, and over the past years, I had interesting experiences while working with some International TV productions as expert in archeology and art. Some reviews about me have been written by Kerry Mullis (Noble Price), Donna Tart (Pulitzer in 2014), Zubin Meta ( World's greatest Orchestra Director), Jude Law, Hugh Jackman, the Jobs. . . . . . . . You can see me on the CBS Sunday morning news runned on May 19th 2019 or using the link https://www. cbsnews. com/video/a-perfect-cup-of-espresso/ I also worked with Samantha Brown, american documentary maker, for the documentary 'Passport to Europe' and recently I've been working for the worldwide magazine Conde N'Est Traveler as local expert in history. What else I can say, this is what I do with passion and responsibility……. . and always having a lot of fun. - Licensed Professional Tour Guide by Regione Campania Aut. n. 4071 - High Specialization Course in "Pompeii and the Sub-Vesuvian Roman Cities" - CFE, Cambridge First Certificate, British Council Institute of Naples None

Overview of your Naples tour
Not everybody knows that Napoli has one of the largest monumental concentrations of the whole world. With me as a local tour guide born and raised in Naples and belonging to a very old Neapolitan family you'll see the real Napoli. Over the last 25 centuries Greeks, Romans, Normans, Svevians, Angevins, Aragons, Ausburgs, Bourbons, Savoy ruled this wonderful city, leaving their personal cultural mark. Almost all the greatest Italian artists had been here at least one time working in some of the most important monuments. Noble's residences, Royal Palaces, wonderful Monuments and over 300 churches were built across the centuries, making Napoli one of the capitals of art. My unconventional tour means walking through thousands of years of history, Art, local food and traditions, to join some of the greatest Italian artists like Caravaggio, Masaccio, Raffaello, Giotto; also Greek and Roman art, but NEVER following the boring touristic itineraries. I will take you eating where the locals go.
Your Naples tour itinerary
The tour goes through the highlights of Napoli and its more than two thousand years of history and traditions. Starting from the Monumental district, where you will admire one of the four Royal Palaces of Napoli, the so-called New Castle, built in 1279, the art nouveau style Gallery Umberto I, and the Royal Opera House San Carlo Theatre, the oldest in Europe, we go to the Greek and Roman district, where we have over two thousand years of history. That is the place where you will get the real essence of Napoli. The Seven Works of Mercy, a masterpiece of Caravaggio or the Veiled Christ sculpted in 1753, will take your breath away. The "Majolica Cloister" from the Monastery of Santa Chiara, the 14th frescoes of Giotto or the street art of Banksy is the most amazing contradiction. And that will be just the beginning. Moving like the locals and eating like one of us. You'll fall in love with one of the most contradictory city of the world. *This tour can be customized
