Hello everyone, my name's Paolo and I'm an archaeologist and a licensed tour guide. I was born in Forlì, a small picturesque city located in Northern Italy - not far from Bologna. And it was there, in my childhood, where I took my first steps in the world of archaeology, going with my friends in search of fossils and other ancient objects. I graduated at the University of Bologna obtaining a degree in Cultural Heritage, then I completed the postgraduate school in Classical Archaeology at the University of Padua, then I moved to Rome. I never quit studying and improving my knowledge as a professional archaeologist working on field and research so I also a got a Phd in Classical Archaeology at the Ludwig Maximilians Universität of Munich (Germany), wonderfull experience! To follow my passion and my job I have lived in several cities in Italy and Greece, such as Rome and Pompeii. Since 2009 I have enjoyed living and working in Castellammare di Stabia too, a quaint maritime town near Pompeii - where you could say I have "landed" and remained ever since. I'm lucky to be responsible of the Roman site of Stabia for directing and coordinating excavations and restoration projects, teaming up with archaeologists and restorers from all over the world. I have also been a licensed tour guide of the Campania Region and Vatican city and Colosseum since 2014, so when I'm not involved with excavation work, I love to share my time and my knowledge with students, art lovers and tourists showing them the archaeological and artistic treasures of this enchanting corner of Italy. Now I live and work in Rome as I feel like it's my native city and always fascinated with the Ancient Rome since I was a child. The Ethernal city is absolutey magic in every its corner. I specialized in Roman archaeology and Rome it's my hometown where I feel home 100%. I look forward to showing you the best ones and live an amazing experience together exploring the best. What else can I say? I'm waiting for you here to spend some unforgettable days together! I graduated at the University of Bologna obtaining a degree in Cultural Heritage and then I completed the postgraduate specialization in Classical and Roman Archaeology at the University of Padova. I have a PhD in Classical Archaeology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany. Due to Italian rules, I'm licensed to guide you inside museums, archaeological areas, cities. I'm not a licensed driver. For tours including private transportation my associated professional driver will be at your disposal.

Overview of your Rome tour

I designed this tour to cover most significant monuments in Rome if you have one day available from the Port of Civitavecchia: the Historic center and Colosseum both in one day! Pick up at with an easy and comfortable drive to Rome that will take approximately one hour and 10 minutes with my trusted driver. I'll show you the best in Rome including Colosseum! As your private tour guide and archaeologist we'll explore together the best corners and Museums in the city if your time is limited since you're on cruise. Take the chance to let you guide in the so called eternal city by a professional archaeologist back to the cruise ship at the end of the day.

All we can say is wow! - Paolo was amazing in all aspects. His knowledge of the sites and just as important was his energy. You clearly could see his passion for what he was showing to us. Our young children had a great time as well which can be difficult on a long full day tour in Rome in the summer. Even for those of us who had been to the sites before learned so many new things at each stop. Paolo is so engaging and he just makes the day the best visit! If you are in Rome you need to see Paolo!

This was our second tour with Paolo! He has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Italy and his guide skills are second to none. We very much enjoyed having the knowledge of an archaeologist when visiting many of Rome's historic places. He designed a custom itinerary for us based on what we had asked to see. He also took us to an amazing restaurant for lunch and gave recommendations for dishes to try that are local to Rome. I would highly recommend booking with Paolo and I would book with him again!
