Tivoli Day Trip from Rome (Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este)

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.
