Welcome! My name is Roberto. I am an Archaeologist and an official Tour Guide of Italy I obtained bachelor degree in Cultural Heritage, master degree in Classical Archaeology and the diploma of Post-Graduate School in Archeological Heritage. I have been an licensed guide of Campania Region (Italy) since 2011 and I have also worked as an archaeologist all around the Mediterranean sea: Populonia (Livorno, Italy), Paestum (Salerno, Italy), Olbia de Provance (Hyères, Var -France), Efestia (Lemnos, Greece), Phaistos, (Crete, Greece). Since I was a child I loved history of ancient Greeks and Romans and also the Art history from the Middle Ages to the Avanguardie of the '900. I live in Salerno, a characteristic sea town located between the paradise of Amalfi Coast and the charming Cilento. Thanks to my job and passion I working and travelling all over the World discovering different people, cultures and stories. I'm going to offer my knowledge in the art-historical and archaeological field for anyone who wants to understand and investigate the incredible richness of my country.

With me you will know also other ancient civilizations and royal families, like Lombards, Normans, Anjous, Aragons and Bourbons, that ruled and enriched the Region with Monuments of incredible beauty and historic value. I'm a member of Slow Food (an international movement that strives to preserve traditional and regional cuisine and encourages farming of plants, seeds and livestock characteristic of the local ecosystem) and so I organize specific tours to those who want to discover the authentic pleasures of wine and traditional food. I also do online pre-trip consultations to help traveller to get their best from their vacations. Availability, preparation and organization are my greatest battle horses to transmit the love that I feel for my country and its history. I'm proud to have been chosen as guide by part of the British Royal family (Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and her sons Lousie and James), the singer of the Coldplay Chris Martin, the footballer Peter Crouch, the Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky and other thousands of couriuos travellers!

With the knowledge of an archaeologist like me you can understand the little details of the daily life and the amazing architectonic buildings that had made Romans one of the most important civilizations the world has ever seen.

Roberto provided an excellent introduction to Pompeii. His background in archaeology added a level of depth and context that brought the site to life far beyond a standard sightseeing tour. Rather than simply pointing out buildings, he explained how people lived, worked, worshipped and moved around the city, making it much easier to imagine Pompeii as a functioning Roman town rather than just a collection of ruins. The tour was well paced and focused on the most significant areas of the site, including the recently reconstructed. Roberto was also happy to answer questions and adapt the discussion to our interests. His explanation of the plaster casts and the eruption itself was particularly interesting. The private transport arrangement worked smoothly and removed the stress of organising logistics. Overall, this was a highly informative and enjoyable tour that I would recommend to anyone interested in Roman history, archaeology or Pompeii itself. It has whet our appetite to learn more and we will look forward to being guided by Roberto on other sites of interest in the area on future visits.

Guide was knowledgeable and made the tour terrific. I have some mobility issues and planned trip to Pompeii to make it work for me. Highly recommend.

Roberto is a friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. But he’s much more than that. With a PhD in archeology, he gives so much depth to the tour. We gave him a whirlwind tour, including Pompeii, where his current archeology project is, a pizzeria for gluten free pizza, a gluten free gelateria, the MANN archeological museum, and the underground. He stayed in contact with me before we arrived to make sure that we bought tickets in advance. He showed me where to buy the tickets which made entry that much easier. You want somebody who cares. That’s Roberto. He entertained grandparents, parents, and children in this wonderful full day tour. Fantastic day!

This was a fantastic tour! Roberto was incredibly knowledgeable (and enthusiastic) about sharing regarding Pompei. He was exceptional at moving to less crowded areas, taking advantage of shade, and providing the right level of detail. Pompei is an amazing place and we felt like we were able to appreciate the intricacy because of Roberto's attentiveness and delivery. He had a topnotch driver too - who found and charged my son's phone when he learned that he left it in the van!

We loved this tour and our guide Roberto. This is a perfect tour for first time travelers. I loved having the option to get private transportation from our accommodation to Pompeii. Roberto was very knowledgeable and passionate about archeology and gave us wonderful information about the history, discovery, and preservation of Pompeii. I would have missed so many details and interesting information without our wonderful guide!
