Italy Uncovered

This immersive journey through Rome and Naples is designed for travelers who have already walked the corridors of the Colosseum, wandered the Roman Forum, and basked on the Amalfi Coast, and are now ready to uncover the deeper layers of Italy’s ancient soul.

Over several days, you’ll slip past the typical tourist trails and dive into the quiet, hidden, and astonishing corners that most visitors never even realize exist.

Wander in Rome

Follow the ancient stones of the Via Appia Antica, where crumbling mausoleums, silent catacombs, and vast pastoral stretches reveal the city as it once was—open, wild, and monumental. Explore the forgotten port city of Ostia Antica, remarkably preserved and far less visited than Pompeii, where intact mosaics, communal bakeries, temples, and taverns bring everyday Roman life vividly to the surface.

Boutiques and artisan workshops

Where modern Roman creators craft everything from hand-dyed leather goods to bespoke perfumes in spaces that blend contemporary design with centuries-old architecture. You have plenty of time to find unique clothing, shoes, and accessories because what is Italy without a bit of shopping?

Be introduced to Naples

A city whose chaotic surface hides one of Europe’s most astonishing underground worlds. Take a descent into Napoli Sotterranea, where Greek quarries, Roman aqueducts, WWII shelters, and subterranean chapels form a honeycomb beneath the modern streets.

Discover little-known neighborhoods

Rich with street art, slow-food trattorias, and historic palaces still inhabited by generations of the same families. Explore the hidden layers of San Gregorio Armeno’s artisan nativity workshops, or visit newly opened archaeological sites revealing frescoed villas and buried tunnels carved long before Vesuvius shaped the region’s fate.

This itinerary is designed not for first-timers, but for travelers seeking the unexpected stories, secret corners, and authentic textures of two of Italy’s most complex and layered cities.

It’s a journey that brings you closer to the heart of Rome and Naples where everyday life and ancient history intertwine in the most surprising ways
