Italian History with Joseph Blog
Walk where emperors walked, explore kingdoms history forgot, and stand above the sunken ruins of Portus Julius, a site few visitors ever reach. With Italian History with Joseph, every journey is hand-built by historian and author Joseph Walker, who brings more than thirty years of research to bring Italy's hidden stories to life right in front of you. These aren't guidebook tours. You'll travel in a small group, led by a historian, through the myths and legends of Italy and Greece, with the kind of access and insight you simply can't get on your own. And the history is only half the adventure. Every program includes time to meet the people who call these places home and to share long, unhurried meals of incredible regional food, from family-run trattorias to dishes you'll be talking about for years. You'll come home with more than photos. You'll come home with stories, flavors, and friends. Small groups. Guaranteed departures. An Italy you'll never forget.
