Alessandro - Private Guide in Siracusa

Languages: English, Italian

I’m an archaeologist. I hold a BA in Preservation of Cultural Herigate, with a specific focus on Classical Archaeology, completed by a further Postgraduate qualification in Sicily and Magna Graecia Archeology.

My main research interest is on Magna Graecia and Sicily Archaeology, about which I published different scientific papers. I was also assistant to the Chair of Greek and Roman Archaeology at the BA Sciences of Tourism of the “Università degli Studi della Calabria”. I worked as an excavation supervisor in Abruzzo, Puglia, Calabria and Sicily and I currently collaborate with the Syracusan Board of Archaeological Heritage.

As expert connoisseur of Sicily, I love sharing my knowledge of Sicilian archaeology, art, architecture, and "food and wine".

According to me a place must not to be visited, but felt and lived in all its multifaceted characteristics. This is the concept I have of the trip. We must not to be tourists, we have to be part of the society in which we stay, combining our customs with their way to live. I think this makes me a different tour guide, as well as the expertise acquired through my academic research and high-grade studies.
