“History” covers a lot of territory in Italy. Your version of it might begin with Homer and the ancient Mediterranean, with Roman cities beneath volcanic ash, with the kingdoms that once ruled the south, or with the civilizations layered across Sicily.

Buried Italy is the historian-led small-group travel series from Italian History with Joseph, created for curious travelers who want to go beyond routine highlight tours and encounter the histories buried beneath familiar places. The programs are designed for travelers looking for a more transformational way to experience Italy, with each itinerary organized around a distinct historical world rather than a checklist of famous stops.

Start With the History Beneath the Highlights

The five current journeys range from eight to 11 days and cover different parts of Italy, with Myth And Sea continuing into Greece. Across the series, the average group size is 10, while the routes themselves vary widely according to the history, landscapes, and cultures they set out to uncover.
