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
The Phlegraean Fields are a large volcanic area located north of Naples. The landscape is made up of low and wide volcanoes still active. Because of the sulfataras, volcanic fumaroles that mainly emit volcanic vapors and gases with a strong sulfur component, the ancient Greeks and Romans thought that here was the entrance to the Underworld. 1) The first visit is Cuma, the first colony founded by the Greeks in southern Italy in 750 B. C. We will visit the so-called cave of the Sibyl, a seer whose oracles were very famous. We will then go up to the highest part of the Greek city, the acropolis, where we will see the remains of the temples of Apollo and Jupiter. 2) Visit of Baia, a huge and spectacular Roman villa from the Republican era later transformed into a large hotel. The villa is spread over several terraces and has numerous rooms, frescoes and mosaics. The most important buildings of the complex are 3 indoor swimming pools, one of them with an intact dome. 3) View of the Solfatara from the top.
