Hi, I’m Giuseppe

Hi, I’m Giuseppe! I love calling Lecce home, a city full of history, art, and mouthwatering local traditions. Exploring hidden corners and maritime hamlets is my passion, and I enjoy discovering local restaurants with authentic food to share with visitors. I know the old city of Lecce and Nardò like the back of my hand and love guiding people through their streets while sharing stories of their ancient, medieval, and early modern history. From cultural and religious history to local folklore, I’m here to make your Lecce experience engaging, fun, and unforgettable!

Hi, I’m Elisabetta

Lecce

As an archaeologist with a deep love for my city’s history, I’m endlessly fascinated by its traditions and legends. What I adore most about Lecce is the magical light that dances across its churches and palaces throughout the day, especially the rose window of the Basilica of Santa Croce at twilight. On Sundays, I enjoy living the “vita lenta,” exploring new breakfast spots, and spending peaceful moments reading in the Cathedral Square. I know the city center inside out and can’t wait to share the stories, flavors, and hidden corners that make Lecce so captivating.
