Hi to everyone, I'm Paolo. I'm an archaelogist and I have been working as tourist guide (license n° 1792 of the Campania Region) for several years . I was born in in the middle of the bay of Naples, by the mount Vesuvius. I have always loved history and archaeology, also because, where I live, there are the incredible excavations of Herculaneum. Since I was a child, I loved entering in Herculaneum and in Pompeii where I was amazed by the classical civilization. So I turned my passion into my work, being a licensed tourist guide. I graduated at the "L'Orientale" University in Naples obtaining a master's degree in Classical Archaeology "cum laude" and during my training I participated in several excavation campaigns in Pompeii and Cuma. I know very well even the city of Naples, where its historical center is Unesco Heritage, the bay of Pozzuoli and the Amalfi Coast: Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. It's a unique place in the world where you can breathe a magical air. It's also famous for its food, just think that the pizza Margherita was born here. I love my land rich of history and culture. I will be happy to guide you in a place full of charm and ancient mistery. Welcome to the real Italy. Archaeologist - Licensed Tourist Guide n° 1792. Master's degree in Classical Archaeology from "L'Orientale" University of Naples, one of the most prestigious universities of this discipline in Italy . I specialize mainly in Greek and Roman Archaeology. But more than any title, I think I have the right experience to guarantee an good guided tour trying to convey my passion and my belief: to make known ancient history and archaeology.

Overview of your Naples tour
I was born near the excavation of Herculaneum, and it is in my heart. Thanks to my studies in classical archeology and my passion I will try to convey to you notions, anecdotes and above all emotions that I hope you will never forget. Herculaneum is an incredible ancient Roman city, smaller than Pompeii, but much better preserved. It was a rich city of the Empire that faced the center of the Gulf of Naples; many of his houses are superb and elegant, showing that many of his citizens had achieved good economic prosperity. Herculaneum is located on the slopes of Vesuvius and for this reason was completely buried by about 25 meters of pyroclastic materials of the terrible eruption of Vesuvius occurred in A. D. 79. Here you will see the incredible: wooden doors, windows, beds, other charred materials and the second floors of the houses. It is an extraordinary archaeological site that has a unique charm in the world.
