Italo Giordano
Italo is an Italian archaeologist as well as a licensed tour guide who, in all the various arenas he works in, aims at making Sicily’s complex history accessible, memorable and meaningful. His academic work is focussed on Sicily, particularly the Greek and Roman periods and the island’s later Byzantine, Arab and Norman layers. Beyond research, he has been working on how heritage is presented, particularly on how that’s best done on the ground for international travellers. As well as guiding, Italo works in the cultural heritage sector monitoring and assessing these efforts in collaborations with public bodies and teams, so has played a major part in every stage of the process of understanding, interpreting and bringing to you the sites you’ll be seeing. Not only does he present sites with clarity and passion, his understanding of the archaeology, its survival and discovery and what shapes how we see it today is second-to-none.
