              you like to be amazed by the most beautiful spots of the Sorrentine 
              peninsula, or to embark on unforgettable excursions, in Campania 
              and the rest of Italy, visiting wonderful cities, exciting archaeological 
              sites and landscapes of incomparable beauty?
 I can help 
              you, putting at your service my experience enhanced by the love 
              I nourish for my country and my work.  My name 
              is Marcello Maresca, I'm 41 years old and live in Sorrento. I'm 
              working as a chauffeur, after having spent many years at sea. Adventure and journeys always attracted me much more than studying. 
              As a matter of fact, I left school still an adolescent to embark 
              on cruise ships that travelled all around the Mediterranean Sea. 
              The memories of my journeys on the "Achille Lauro", the holiday 
              cruiser tragically sunken off the coast of Somalia after dreadful 
              a fire on board, are still very dear to me.
  I recall 
              the spirit of adventure, the sympathy of the colleagues and the 
              tourists that I met aboard that magnificent cruise ship. The mixture 
              of cultures and many languages, some of which I learned during my 
              journeys.
 After ten 
              years at sea, I changed my line of work. The passion for travels, 
              however, remained. Indeed it pushed me towards an activity, which 
              was still closely related to tourism and vacation. I started working 
              as a driver on tourist busses and have been all over Italy showing 
              groups around that came from all over the world: American, Japanese, 
              British, and Italian folks. I showed them the most beautiful places 
              of Italy, such as Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples and Milan. 
 Again ten 
              years later, I stopped working on busses. Enriched by the experience 
              gained with the years, I decided to become my own boss. I bought 
              a luxury car equipped with all comforts and in that car I chauffeur 
              around people that want to undertake excursions in Campania or want 
              to travel through Italy and Southern Europe.  I want to 
              offer the knowledge and experience gathered during twenty years 
              of work in the tourist sector to my customers. To those people who 
              want to visit my country in a new, special and unprecedented way. 
                I will lead 
              you, if you wish, to Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, Pompei, Capri, showing 
              you enchanted spots away from the traditional tourist routes. You 
              will have at your service professionalism, competence, punctuality, 
              courtesy, sympathy and passion for the work.  Finally I 
              would like to tell you how it came that I decided to start this 
              activity. One day after a cheerful trip with an American couple, 
              those people said to me: "Thank you for this marvellous day. Thank 
              you for giving us this dream".  |
