Mauro Chiummo
Mauro Chiummo was born and raised in Sicily and has a Neapolitan background. His love of nature began with his time in the Boy Scouts, eventually leading to a career in Environmental Education where he spent 10 years providing adults and children with wilderness adventures and outdoor recreational activities. In addition to leading biking and walking tours in Italy, Mauro is an active member of the anti-mafia association called Adiopizzo. He also enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter as well as playing volleyball and soccer, kayaking, running, and swimming. Plus, he’s a master ping-pong player! When not enjoying all his outdoor sports, you can find Mauro reading, singing, studying history, and cooking.
Christopher Wellington
Having lived in Italy for more than thirty years, Christopher Wellington combines a deep love of his adopted country with wide-ranging knowledge of its past and present. A history graduate of Cambridge, he taught English and religion before moving into guiding. He is fascinated by the art and architecture of Italy, and how it has grown out of the countryside and life of the people, the source, too, of his interest in the food and wine of each region.
Maurizio Musmeci
A native of the Sicilian town of Acireale, Maurizio Musmeci lives in Aci Castello, a small village built on hardened Mt. Etna lava. Having lived in several Italian cities, he eventually returned to Sicily, where he is proud to be part of an organization that publicly supports businesses and public officials who do not pay protection money to organized crime. He has a degree in environmental planning and has been working for years as a hiking and nature guide. Maurizio wants to share Sicily with all visitors so they can know it for what it is: a beautiful land, full of contradictions, with an amazing natural and human cultural heritage.
Keegan Alagna
With his American mother and Sicilian father, Keegan Alagna grew up in a bilingual home in the Umbrian countryside near Assisi. From his childhood on a working farm to post-graduate work in geology, he has always pursued his passion and curiosity for the outdoors, through teaching, guiding, and exploring. He brings his depth of knowledge of geology, nature, Italian history and culture to his walking tours and to his position as a key member on Italy’s premier outdoor group—the CAI, the Club Alpino Italiano.
