From Chemistry to Art

Teo often laughs when people ask what a chemist is doing in the world of art and archaeology. Years ago, curiosity led him from formulas to frescoes, and he’s never looked back. His scientific mind now helps him reveal the hidden stories behind colors, materials, and ancient techniques.

A True Time Traveller

What he loves most about being a tour guide is the freedom to travel through time and space, exploring the artworks, monuments, and flavors of Italy. He believes there’s a special kind of magic in seeing the world through his guests’ eyes, sharing wonder and discovery together.

Passionate About History and Cooking

When he’s not guiding or travelling, you’ll probably find him studying something new or experimenting in his kitchen. After all, being a southern Italian man, it’s impossible not to love cooking, and his pasta sauce is almost as legendary as his stories!

My Favorite Location?

The Borghesi Gallery

My Guilty Pleasure?

LARGE bites of gianduia (soft hazelnut chocolate) bars.

My Favorite Quote?

“Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.” – Albert Szent-Györgyi

My Superpower?

I can travel through space and time
