Benvenuti!​

​​

I was born and raised in the Naples area and I am thoroughly knowledgeable in the local history and culture (both recent and ancient.)  I am also a seasoned world-traveler and bring that valuable, firsthand experience to bear in creating the perfect traveling experience for you.  In addition to my native Italian, I speak perfect English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I hold a doctorate in literature from a United States university and have worked both as a professor and as a multilingual copy editor for a range of international publications.

​

​I can knowledgeably relate the fascinating ancient history of such legendary locales as Pompeii and the island of Capri if you are someone who sees travel as the opportunity to journey back in time. If more contemporary, popular culture is what excites you, how about a visit to some of the most memorable locations of films shot in Napoli such as Sofia Loren's Pane, amore e...  (This Wikipedia site lists 52 films shot in Naples) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Films_set_in_Naples​

So, whether you dream of traveling the Amalfi Coast to indulge in some of the best cuisine and wine in the world,  to trace your ancestry back to your forefathers’ hometown or to retrace his steps in WWII, to find the perfect keepsake from local artisans, to witness for yourself the power of that ancient Pompeii eruption, or to do whatever else draws you to this legendary region of Italy, allow me to handle the mundane details so that you can take full advantage of every minute you have simply doing the things you enjoy.

The world is a classroom, learning is a lifelong adventure, and I am waiting for you to arrive!
