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! Come join me on a tour!

Our private tour for four focused on the rich history of Pompeii, and more that is being discovered, it was fantastic! Roberto is passionate about his field and this important site. Our group raved about the tour and all the knowledge we gained from Roberto. We would have missed so many important details without his expertise! Roberto is a great communicator, kind, organized, and an expert in his field. (After an unexpected injury, he arranged an alternative route in Pompeii to ensure all could still visit the site.) He also arranged a driver from our hotel to Pompeii, the winery, and back to Sorrento. At Bosco de Medici winery, we enjoyed a tour of the property and delicious wine/food. We all had an amazing experience thanks to Roberto! Don’t miss the opportunity to hire him as your guide to immerse yourself in this beautiful, historic region!

Roberto was a fantastic tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable about the site/history and was able to discuss it in a way that was informative without becoming too dense. Very friendly and answered all our questions about the site and history! The driver was also very communicative and friendly. Winery was beautiful with great food. Highly recommend the whole experience

Pompeii & Vineyard tour is a wonderful way to spend the day exploring the ancient sites of Pompeii and ending it with a brief vineyard tour and a leisurely lunch at the Bosco De Medici Winery. Roberto is an informative and professional guide and would recommend ANY of his tours; along with his colleague/driver, Ramondo, who made the trip from Praiano seamless. Grazie to them both for a beautiful day!!
