My name is Giovanni and I'm an archaeologist and a passionate tour guide in Rome. Archaeology has always been my greatest passion, and that's why I decided to study it in college for 8 years (1st level degree, 2nd level degree, and post-graduate School of Specialization). At the end of each course of studies, I had to write a thesis: two about the Eastern religions in Rome, and one about Roman and Etruscan architecture. After completing my education, I found out that I loved sharing what I had learned, and so I became a tour guide. I always try to make my tours entertaining and informative, because I truly believe that history, architecture, and archaeology are a lot of fun! I dug in many sites, including the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill (Colosseum Area) and I love to take my clients to places where I've dug, so I can share with them my direct experience of the sites and my dig stories. I'm still involved in the "Campo della Fiera project", a large excavation of an extremely interesting Etruscan sanctuary in Orvieto. As a tour guide, I love to create tailored tours and treat my clients as individuals, offering the best service I can. In my tours, I always include pick up service at the hotel, and I try to design an itinerary that matches the clients' needs and expectations. I try to help the people discover the hidden gems of Rome and Italy, but I never forget about the highlights. That's why many of the itineraries I designed include both famous and off-the-beaten-path sights. I lead tours in Rome and also outside of the city, and I provide day trips to Pompeii, Florence, Tivoli, Ostia Antica, Orvieto, and many other famous beautiful locations in Italy. I can't wait to meet you and to share my love for ancient history! - Licenced Official tour guide (Rome district); - 1st and 2d level degrees in Archaeology (University of Salerno) and a School of Specialization (post-graduate); - Diploma in Archaeology (University of Rome - La Sapienza). 8 years of study total; - During my studies I wrote three thesis: "L'Egitto a Benevento" - "I culti orientali in Campania" - "Il tempio A di Campo della Fiera" Papers I wrote: - Article entitled "Il culto di Mithra in Campania", in Salternum, review of the Gruppo Archeologico Salernitano, n. 28-29. - Article entitled "Il tempio di Iside a Benevento: l'architettura e gli arredi, l'architettura attraverso gli arredi" in Proceedings of JIA 2010: Jóvenes en investigation Arqueológica, convention at Winter 2010. - Article entitled "L'Egitto in Campania" in "Salternum," review of the Gruppo Archeologico Salernitano, n. 24-25. - Article entitled "L'Egitto a Benevento" in "Salternum", review of the Gruppo Archeologico Salernitano, n. 18-19, pg. 83-93.

I have designed this "Luxury Rome in a Day Tour" so that you can see as much as possible of Rome in just a few hours, and explore the Eternal City in the most comfortable way. Once I pick you up at your hotel on a private car, we'll visit the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's Square. At the Colosseum, skipping the line, you'll discover the secrets of the most impressive ancient Roman building. I'll tell you about the gladiators' life and death, pain and blood, victory, and freedom. We'll save some time for lunch because also food is part of the true Roman experience. The last part of our tour will be a stroll through Rome city center, where we'll see the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain. I'll talk about Bernini, Borromini, the baroque masters, and the most impressive fountains and piazzas of the eternal city. Do not miss this unique opportunity to discover Rome through the eyes of a local!
