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 Pompei tour

The ancient city of Pompeii is probably the most important archaeological site in the world. 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 by A. D. 79 the ditrusse and covered it under about 20 feet of pumice, lapilli and ash. The tour lasts about 4 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. This tour includes the last discoveries and Villa of the Mysteries. It is a unique emotion to visit a Roman city that integrates in all its architectural aspects. During the tour I'm talking about the public and private life of the ancient Romans. It will be like travelling back in time! How many years lived on average and how tall were they? How long did they work in one day? Who were the richest? Where did free time pass? Where did the slaves come from? I'm answering that.
