I’m an authorized tour guide and a specialized, multi-tasking archaeologist. I studied and explored the history of Lucania for over seven years in (almost) all the possible ways, and I keep doing it following archaeological digs in the Sassi of Matera and among the pages of Mathera Magazine.

Only the best guides!

The Sassi of Matera are not just a “Nativity Scene” or some ghetto where the poor people used to live. They are the result of a long and articulated evolution of one of the most ancient human settlements on Earth! To know and understand all the shades and complexities and to transmit these to the visitors, a license and some passion are important, but not enough. You also need a deep cultural background and high professionality. Features that we surely have! Our staff is made only of highly educated, experienced professionals. Try us! Your guided tour of the Sassi will be a fulfilling, complete experience.
