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. The ancient city of Pompeii is probably the most important archaeological site in the world. . . And a tour here led by an archeologist, even better! In the past, it was an agricultural and commercial center where about 20000 people lived. The eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD covered it under about 8 meters of pumice, lapilli and ash. The tour lasts about 2 hours and will be a journey through history where you will see houses, theaters, baths, shops, brothels, casts of the victims, in an incredible state of conservation. The National Archaeological Museum of Naples is one of the most famous and visited museums in Italy, among the oldest and most important in the world for the richness and uniqueness of its heritage.
