Ciao! My name is Raffaele and i am an authorized tour guide.I had got a first degree in Archaeology and History of Art with a dissertation on burials ad sanctos; also, i continued my studies, and i took a second degree in Archaeology and History of Art with a thesis on the imparial and late roman amphoras from the Catacomb of San Gennaro in Naples, both degrees are taken at University of Naples Federico II.Throught these studies i found commercial relationship within Naples and the other cities along the Mediterrean Sea during the Roman Empire.I have also got the Diploma in Archaeology of Scuola di Specializzazione at Università della Campania (Naples), i am bringing a project for the restoration of an ancient Herculaneum’s house and its opening to the public.

I travelled a lot, living for two years in London where i worked as restauretor for the HMS Belfast as better known as Imperial War [sensitive content]h travels and the expirience of living abroad have made me understand how lucky i am to live in Naples! It’s a city with a unique charm, where you can breathe history and art in every its street corner, a place where people’s energies are so strong and powerfull that you can feel at home everywhere and in every moment of the day.A city, maybe, between the most important in Europe and Italy, an unformed diamond waiting to be crafted.

My most strongest passioni s archaeology and art.I love my land and i could not choose better job than this, where i can show the beauties, the story, the archaeology, the art, i can tell the tales and legends, i can bring you trought the secret and veiled wonders of this place.

Peraphs there’s art in my DNA, or maybe i was born in the art.When i was child, i was fashinated staring at my father when he was painting, watching colors mixing between themselves on a canvas, tasting theirs smell.On the side of my studies about classical archaeology and history of art, i love so deep the late Manierism and the Baroque in art.

I am occupied also in the rediscovering of typical products of my land, as ‘ Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio ‘, one of the many exellances of Campania.For this reason i am the President of the association ‘ Le Ali della Terra ‘, that has to restore the unworked lands with clean coltures as the Piennolo’s tomatoes.

I love my job as a tour guide so much to get excited all the time! To meet new people is a power skill of this job.

Anyway, if you are not looking for a common tour guide, but you’re looking for an archaeologist and historical of art than you are in the right profile!
