Introducing Myself

Photo: Matteo Fioretto

First of all I am a very curious person about life.

I was born a second-generation entrepreneur, then founded companies of my own; but over the course of my life I have explored many avenues: music, competitive sports, consulting work, writing, theatre, shamanism and frontier sciences, the world of medicine and healing.

This led me for 40 years to work in many completely different contexts, on three continents, with a few stops on the Indian subcontinent.

Today I may say that my passion is to inspire courageous people to discover and express their potential by developing forward-looking visions.

I love helping people to live a quality life, developing healthy relationships in harmony with the ecosystem.

Similarly, I love helping organisations and businesses to thrive by adopting models of sustainability and circularity, as well as conflict transformation practices, thus releasing their potential to be a positive force in society and the world.

Theatre for peace

Since 2022, I have been bringing to the theatre, and beyond, a talent that until then had only been used for the benefit of family and friends: the improvisation of short stories and stories with high content.
“The One Tells”, in theatre, and “the One Walks”, in Nature, are the two formats I propose to those who want to organise these interactive events from which participants draw inspiration and comfort. Download the programmes in the Media section.
