I am an ARCHAEOLOGIST
Hi, I’m Elisabetta, your local host in beautiful 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.
