Hello, and thank you very much for visiting my web profile! My name's Felicia and I'm a restorer, an art historian and a tour guide, specifically for families with children. I have worked for many years in restoration laboratories in Naples, Sorrento, Cava de' Tirreni, Pompeii and Oplontis. My area of expertise is the restoration of the pictorial film into frescoes, paintings on canvas, wood and statues. In 2014 I obtained the license to work as a tour guide of the Campania Region delivering tours in both Italian and English. At present, I have the fortune to be also involved in the tourist industry, organizing and designing itineraries and expecially guided tours. I really enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with people from different ranges of cultural, professional and academic backgrounds. The tours that meet me the most are those with families with children and adolescents: I can now claim to be an expert in this type of services! Licensed tour guide of the Campania Region (2015) Master's degree in History of Art at the University "Suor Orsola Benincasa" of Naples - final dissertation about the History of Restoration, with particular reference to the defense system of the Sorrento Coast from Roman times to the Unification of Italy (2007) Post-graduate degree master of Tourism Management at the University "Suor Orsola Benincasa" of Naples (2021) Qualification in Restoration of Paintings on Canvas and Tableaux at the Institute "M. Visconti" of Naples (2000) Training courses on Excavation's Principles and Methods, Restoration Diagnosis, and the Conservation of Ceramics at Faenza's "M.I.C. Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche" (2000-2001) I attended a seminar on Contemporary Art, Management and Settings at the Ara Pacis in Rome (2009) According to my country regulation, my guidance is allowed inside museums, archaeological areas, cities and more. Since I'm not a driver, for tours with private transportation my associated professional driver will be at your disposal.

Overview of your Sorrento tour
This tour consists in a marvellous walk around of the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, buried from the ashes of the volcano Vesuvius in 79 a. D. In 4 hours I'll be able to show you most of the highlights of both towns! A walk in Pompeii is a very intense experience; you'll have the feeling to be in a town that is still alive. I will tell you about the history of the town and how the Romans lived, showing you all the most important public buildings and private houses. Herculaneum is much smaller but better preserved then Pompeii. While Pompeii had been covered in four to five meters of ashes, an avalanche of muds 20 meters thick had buried Herculaneum instead , which made Herculaneum houses second-story preserved too, carbonized wooden , paintings and mosaics are still preserved. An English speaking driver will be at your disposal all day, with pick up and drop off at your accommodation
