Hello, and thank you very much for visiting my web profile! My name's Felicia and I'm a restorer, an art historian and a tour guide, specifically for families with children. I have worked for many years in restoration laboratories in Naples, Sorrento, Cava de' Tirreni, Pompeii and Oplontis. My area of expertise is the restoration of the pictorial film into frescoes, paintings on canvas, wood and statues. In 2014 I obtained the license to work as a tour guide of the Campania Region delivering tours in both Italian and English. At present, I have the fortune to be also involved in the tourist industry, organizing and designing itineraries and expecially guided tours. I really enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with people from different ranges of cultural, professional and academic backgrounds. The tours that meet me the most are those with families with children and adolescents: I can now claim to be an expert in this type of services! Licensed tour guide of the Campania Region (2015) Master's degree in History of Art at the University "Suor Orsola Benincasa" of Naples - final dissertation about the History of Restoration, with particular reference to the defense system of the Sorrento Coast from Roman times to the Unification of Italy (2007) Post-graduate degree master of Tourism Management at the University "Suor Orsola Benincasa" of Naples (2021) Qualification in Restoration of Paintings on Canvas and Tableaux at the Institute "M. Visconti" of Naples (2000) Training courses on Excavation's Principles and Methods, Restoration Diagnosis, and the Conservation of Ceramics at Faenza's "M.I.C. Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche" (2000-2001) I attended a seminar on Contemporary Art, Management and Settings at the Ara Pacis in Rome (2009) According to my country regulation, my guidance is allowed inside museums, archaeological areas, cities and more. Since I'm not a driver, for tours with private transportation my associated professional driver will be at your disposal.

Overview of your Naples tour

This tour includes a marvelous walk around the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, that has been destroyed and covered in ashes at the time of the famous volcano Vesuvius' eruption in 79 AD. I will show you the best of the highlights in these ruins! A walk through Pompeii is a very incredible experience; I will explain to you the history of the town and how the Romans used to live, walking through public buildings and private houses. Naples, on the other hand, is a brilliant city on Italy's Southwest coast; it's a mix of architectural styles, with elegant 18th-century buildings, castles and wonderful churches. Also, it's full of history and culture: absolutely worth visiting.

Felicia was very knowledgeable and provided a great overview of the city. She communicated well and coordinated meeting spots and special requests of sights to see. I recommend requesting her.

Felicia was an amazing guide. Her extensive knowledge of archeology made the tour very engaging. I only wish we would have had more time in Pompeii. From there she took us to Naples for a city tour. We had a very enjoyable pizza lunch together. She showed us some of the sights and shared history of the city. We really enjoyed our time with Felicia and I highly recommend her as a guide!

We were so lucky to have this guide with us today. She is an extreme wealth of knowledge and is very enjoyable to be around. Made every minute of our time count. You won't be disappointed. She works very hard to make sure you get the experience you want. Can't say enough good things about this guide.

Felicia has so much knowledge and understanding of the events that occurred at Pompeii, as well as what daily life was like for the residents. The tour she provided was absolutely stellar— we learned SO much! Felicia really made the city come alive for us (and made it interesting for our teens) and helped us to understand what had occurred. We had a brief time in Naples, but Felicia showed us historical and important places in the city. Our driver Vincenzo was great, too. Definitely tour with Felicia

We were a group of 6, ages ranging from 82 to 5. Felicia was very accomodating to all our questions and levels of mobility. There is lots of walking on the tour, as expected, and crowds, as expected. She remained patient and pleasant. She is very intelligent, articulate and conversational. Her and her driver, Francesco, are native Pompeiians, an extra bonus to meet true locals. Francesco was also very knowledgable about Italian history, Pompeii, and Naples. Thank you, Felicia and Francesco!

Our day with Felicia was amazing. She has degrees in Art History and Restoration, and worked on the restoration of Pompeii for many years. In the brief time we allowed her in Pompeii, she took us deep inside the city as it was, the way it has been restored, and why certain sections will not be restored now. It was an incredible journey. In Naples, we saw the Old City through the eyes of someone who has lived there all her life. As with Pompeii, her perspectives were wonderful. 10 stars!!!
