About Tour Guide Roberto M.
My name is Roberto. I am an archaeologist and an authorized guide of Campania Region
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 authorized guide of Campania Region 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.

I’m leading people to discover the secrets of ancient Greeks and Romans that already in the past they knew the incomparable beauty of this places.
I collaborate with 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.
Availability, preparation and organization are my greatest battle horses to transmit the love that I feel for my country and its history.
