Welcome! My name is Roberto. I am an Archaeologist and an official Tour Guide of Italy I obtained bachelor degree in Cultural Heritage, master degree in Classical Archaeology and the diploma of Post-Graduate School in Archeological Heritage. I have been an licensed guide of Campania Region (Italy) since 2011 and I have also worked as an archaeologist all around the Mediterranean sea: Populonia (Livorno, Italy), Paestum (Salerno, Italy), Olbia de Provance (Hyères, Var -France), Efestia (Lemnos, Greece), Phaistos, (Crete, Greece). Since I was a child I loved history of ancient Greeks and Romans and also the Art history from the Middle Ages to the Avanguardie of the '900. I live in Salerno, a characteristic sea town located between the paradise of Amalfi Coast and the charming Cilento. Thanks to my job and passion I working and travelling all over the World discovering different people, cultures and stories. I'm going to offer my knowledge in the art-historical and archaeological field for anyone who wants to understand and investigate the incredible richness of my country. Together we will discover the secrets of ancient Greeks and Romans that already in the past they knew the incomparable beauty of those places. With me you will know also other ancient civilizations and royal families, like Lombards, Normans, Anjous, Aragons and Bourbons, that ruled and enriched the Region with Monuments of incredible beauty and historic value. I'm a member of Slow Food (an international movement that strives to preserve traditional and regional cuisine and encourages farming of plants, seeds and livestock characteristic of the local ecosystem) and so I organize specific tours to those who want to discover the authentic pleasures of wine and traditional food. I also do online pre-trip consultations to help traveller to get their best from their vacations. Availability, preparation and organization are my greatest battle horses to transmit the love that I feel for my country and its history. I'm proud to have been chosen as guide by part of the British Royal family (Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and her sons Lousie and James), the singer of the Coldplay Chris Martin, the footballer Peter Crouch, the Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky and other thousands of couriuos travellers! With my online virtual tour of Pompeii I've hosted 100+ companies (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Airbnb, Alibaba, Cisco, Pfizer, Zillow, American Express, HP Enterprise, Linkedin, Tumblr, T-Mobile, Nike, Deliveroo, Yelp!, Salesforce and many others) that did team buildings travelling in time into the ancient Roman era!

Your Salerno tour itinerary

We will go to see the Museum of Operation Avalanche where, through pictures and objects from the World War II, we can follow the history of the days when the allies landed. We will move to the beach of the landing in Paestum where the U. S. soldiers fought against the Nazists. We will see the ruins of a bunker used by the Germans and the area of the Tower where a strong battle was fought. We will see the ruins of another important place where the allies, after an entire day of fight, destroyed a German camp. We will enter in Paestum archaeological site that the allies use as radio head quartier. At the end we will visit the War Cemetery where Commonwealth soldiers, sailors and airmen are honoured. As an option I can organize a lunch break at a Mozzarella Buffaloes cheese farm in Paestum. *** THIS TOUR CAN BE CUSTOMIZED 100% TO YOUR NEEDS AND REQUESTS AND FOR MORE PEOPLE WITH A DIFFERENT PRICE ***
