Gennaro

I am a professional archaeologist and a tour guide, but first and foremost, I am a tourist myself. When I travel, I want to understand what I am looking at, why a place is the way it is, and what stories lie behind a street, a church, a building, or even a pile of stones. I have dedicated years to archaeological, historical, and artistic study and research, and over time I have become convinced of one thing: seeing a place is nice, but understanding it completely changes the experience. Sometimes all it takes is a story, a detail you hadn't noticed, or a different perspective to make a place truly memorable. And this is precisely what drove me to become a tour guide. In my tours, I would like to show you what I try to see myself, connect the pieces, and give voice to the places. And yes, I will probably be the first tourist in the group: the one who continues to marvel even in front of places he has known for years. If at the end of the tour you look at a place with different eyes, remember a story, or find yourself telling someone "you know what I discovered?", then I will have done my job well. Because knowing what surrounds us helps us appreciate it more and, perhaps, in our small way, contribute to making the world a bit more beautiful to know. And believe me if an archaeologist says so, who can see beauty even in an "old stone."
