Carlo Cestra was born and raised in Rome, Italy. He entered the world of computer graphics in the early 90s, creating digital content for some local TV stations while studying Physics at the University of "La Sapienza". His hometown fueled his passion for ancient history, and he was probably one of the first digital artists to apply computer graphics to archaeology. In 1998, he began his professional career at the Department of Computer Graphics and Special Effects of Rai as a 3D Generalist and Compositor for scientific broadcasts, including SuperQuark Speciale and Passaggio a Nord Ovest, two of the most important scientific dissemination TV programs in Italy. In the following years, he gained extensive experience creating computer graphics reconstructions and animations in the scientific, historical, and archaeological fields, blending his passion with his work. Starting in 2005, when he decided to start his own business as a freelancer, and then in 2010, when he consolidated his company, he began to collect important collaborations at the international level in the production of documentaries, films, TV programs, and historical reconstructions. Among the many companies, he can mention Cinecittá Luce, Rai, and Rainbow-CGI (where he also worked as a Senior Compositor and Head of Compositing Department); among the internationally renowned documentarians, Folco Quilici, Iantd, and Icon Films; among the videogame and simulator companies Depth Crush Uboat Simulator and CrossTail Studios, a developer for Digital Combat Simulator; among the specialized magazines in historical reconstructions of World War II Caraktere and Kagero; among the museums Lavinium, Gradara, the Museum of Roman Ships in Nemi, and Palazzo Massimo in Rome; among the institutions the Cultural Heritage of Rome, the Military Consortium of Menorca, and the Insular Council of Mallorca. Some of his works have been broadcast on TV channels such as History Channel, Discovery Channel, Rai, and IB3. He has also produced and realized the two historical documentaries Inferno di fuoco and Operazione Gaudo. His 3D models are sold on major international platforms. Since 2018, he has created the brand Vr Back to the Past producing and realizing historical-archaeological panoramic videos with 3D reconstructions, animated by actors in costume, about Imperial Rome, Vatican history, and medieval Viterbo, which are used for on-site tours accompanied by specialized tourist guides.
Serena Pascoli was born and raised between Rome and a small village in the Viterbo area. It's here where her love and respect for nature found roots, and she's very proud of that. After graduating as a tour operator and obtaining her tourist guide certification, she worked in store promotion agencies, coordinating personnel, studying and developing display systems, and planning events. Among her clients were brands such as Barilla and Coca-Cola. As a lover of nature and outdoor life, she continued her career as a merchandising manager, a role that allowed her to travel and experience very different environments and contexts. She also started and personally managed some commercial activities, taking care of their organization and management as a whole. In 2018, she returned to her first passion, taking on the role of sales manager for a tour operator specialized in 3D sightseeing tours. As a freelancer, she acquired and managed a portfolio of clients through contracts and agreements with incoming agencies, associations, tour guides, and online platforms.

In 2019, she began an exciting collaboration with Carlo Cestra Digital Production for the marketing of VR products in cultural, educational, and tourism fields. She coordinated and autonomously managed guided tours with VR headsets. What does she like about her job? Watching the wonder and excitement of people when they gain awareness of the magnificence of our past, reliving it through the VR experience.

Born in Liguria, adopted by Rome, citizen of the world by vocation: I am Chiara, a curious traveler, always searching for new stories to discover and tell. I am an archaeologist, a food and wine guide, a teacher of Italian for foreigners, and a basketball coach. In short, I am a multi-potential explorer, an elegant way to describe my "nerd" soul with a thousand passions, all united by a great love: culture. For this reason, you will always find me with a boarding pass in hand, ready for a new adventure. I love to discover something new every day, both "on the road" and between the pages of books, of which I am an avid devourer. I might forget anything to put in my backpack, but never a book. For all these reasons, and others that you will discover along the way in my company, I like to define myself as a "culture hacker" and I am constantly on the move.
