Born and raised in Naples, I have been a professional archaeologist involved in scientific projects and excavations in Pompeii since 1997. My experience includes serving as Scientific Director for restoration initiatives linked to the Major Pompeii Project. Currently, I am a member of the Venus Pompeiana Project, the Scientific Director of the Lapis Museum, the Vice-President of the International Research Institute for Archaeology and Ethnology (IRIAE) and the Director of the Italian archaeological expedition in Tokyo.
Although my career has taken me abroad, I have always felt drawn back to my roots. Today, I live in the heart of Naples and passionately combine my academic work with guiding. Since 2011, I have led tours with a clear mission: to use my background and enthusiasm to offer guests an unforgettable, in-depth experience of the Bay of Naples' incredible cultural heritage.
