• ✩

• Città e stati che ho visitato

  I have been privileged to travel extensively for work and with my family (wife and two daughters). Some highlights were:

  - Studying and working in the UK

  - Wildlife safaris in the heart of Botswana’s National Parks

  - Exploring various parts of the Ancient Silk Roads in Uzbekistan and China

  - Horseback riding on the Mongolian plains

  - Witnessing the dramatic landscapes of Patagonia in Argentina and Lençois Maranhenses in Brazil

  - Visiting great cities such as Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Chicago, London, Kyoto, Melbourne and others

• Da bambino, sognavo...

  I would become a knight.

• I miei interessi nelle altre culture

  I am interested in foreign cultures and habits, local cuisine, natural awes and specific languages.

  Current aim is to learn Spanish (Latin American).

• Adoro parlare di...

  I enjoy talking about the simple things of life, human nature and daily struggles that we have to face.

  Some special interests:

  - Traveling: do you have any tips to share? Can I be of help? Just send a shout out.

  - Music: I play electric guitar and love a chat about gear, tone chasing, sharing tabs and tips & tricks. Are you a beginner or an aspiring guitarist: let me know if you have any questions.

  - Minions: I have two daughters (little minions) and it remains fun to share parenting tips (how to survive daily disney tunes) with co-victims. Please don’t take every word seriously: I love my two little mini sharks.

• Libri/autori/film preferiti

  There are not enough books on this globe.

  Currently reading:

  - Thomas Piketty: Capital and Ideology

  - Matthew Walker: Why we sleep - The new science of sleep and dreams

  - Michael Palin: Himalaya

  I have also published books myself (boring academic stuff), but it remains a magical thing whenever a new volume is out. I am very grateful to have this opportunity.

• Vorrei che le persone sapessero di più riguardo...

  Mental resilience. To stay calm facing a (proverbial) firing squad or mental demons.

  This part of life often remains uncultivated and underestimated. That is a shame.

• Io ed i miei genitori

  Both of my parents have passed away. They remain a huge source of inspiration.

  And I am grateful that my daughters have known my parents in their initial stages of life.

• Piaceri dell'infanzia

  Not being haunted by the pressures of modern society. I try to facilitate a similar environment for my little ones.

• Abilità personali

  Maintenance of physical and mental fitness has always been a main target for me. I have a weak spot for martial arts (muay thai/MMA) and I love indoor climbing.

  Currently, I am confined to the gym but wish to learn scuba diving.

• La mia opinione sulla natura umana

  I have a firm believe that humans are inherently good. Driven by anxieties or desires, people may just go off route. Let’s bring them back! 😉

• Rendere il mondo un posto migliore

  Let’s give each other some space and restore mutual respect on a daily basis. That may already be a good first step.

• A 10 anni da adesso

  - I have traveled to Jalapão and the Amazon rainforest in Brazil

  - Attended a wedding in Laos (actually next January)

  - Have finished La Divina Commedia and La Vita Nuova by Dante Alighieri

  - Completed courses in Photography, Latin American Spanish and Scuba Diving

  - Have reduced my guitar effects to fit on one pedalboard
