Ciao! My name is Pietro. I love my job because I can share my cultural identity by communicating and enjoying together flavors and landscapes of my country. As an expert of natural and cultural heritage, I worked for UNESCO on management plans Sicilian sites of the World Heritage List. With me you can get the authentic senses of the places you want to visit in Sicily. I will reveal every aspect with passion and joy, telling the history, showing amazing details and the local style of life. Through my "patriotic and nice" eyes you will discover one of the most beautiful region of the world. Sicily is a unique historical crossroad, very rich in ancient treasures, rare expression of art and local traditions. My wonderful island of the sun also offers delicacies of one of the richest cooking tradition of the world, high quality wines and the opportunity to enjoy "la bella vita" as Sicilians can do! Palermo is a lively city, full of pedestrian areas and colored markets. Recently declared a part of World heritage list, it has always been an harbour characterized by a multi-ethnic society, giving birth to the unique Arab Norman Byzantine style. I will customize my tours according to your preferences and desires. In case we need the car to reach sites, I get professional drive license (KB), registration (CAP), assurance and NCC license. Come to visit Sicily, you will be delighted by local flavors, landscapes and art, and, of course, by my friendly and smart welcome! - Guide and tour leader license for Sicily since 1998 - Professional driving license and registration (CAP) - Official interpreter and translator - Job and car insurance - NCC car license - Phd and Post Phd in Sociology - Specialized in cultural and environmental interpretation - Specialized in active tourism and education none

Visiting your ancestors' town and getting official documents
Overview of your Palermo tour
In the past a lot of souther persons were compelled to leave their country mostly to find better social and economical conditions of life. Really an huge number of sicilians left their towns to look for a luckier future. It will be a pleasure for me to support who wants to visit the towns where his ancestors come from. This is not an already structered tour. We will reach the town where your ancestors came from, so the target will be always different. Before you book such an experience, I need datas from you, to check if really your ancestors came from the town you signal. I will contact the local city town demographical department asking for the certificate of birth of the person you are looking for. That's why I need at least date of birth, name, family name and place of birth of the relative you are looking for. If the city hall demographical department will find in the registers the dates you sent me, we could plan the tour and when you are in Sicily you will get the official certification of birth.
