Facts and Interests

• After leaving home at 19, a combination of events, including winning a sports bet and academic scholarships, I began travelling. I worked in Rome, Helsinki, and England before permanently relocating to the UK in 2008.
• I have been a meditator for years and have spent hundreds of hours with Eastern spiritual leaders and practitioners, learning about Buddhism, Hinduism, Mysticism, and the Yogic Sciences.
• As a teenager, like many others in Southern Italy, I aspired to become a professional footballer. I dedicated a decade to training and playing for the youth team of AC Tricase, a team in the Italian Serie C league.
• I have a competitive streak in go-kart racing, a passion inspired by my father, a local rally car racer and enthusiast. Growing up, we had a go-karting track near our home, where I'd practice with my then friend Ivan.
• I have logged hundreds of hours training as a comedy improviser and have performed in several theaters throughout London.
• Atypically for an Italian, I don't enjoy cooking :)
• I'm moved by art, beauty, classical music and anything that is beautifully presented and shows thoughtful proportion.
• My new favorite film is 'American Symphony' by Matthew Heineman (2023). The story of the 11 Grammy Award musician Jon Baptiste, and his wife Suleika, and how the parallel to Eastern spiritual traditions is impeccable.
