«I DID THE POSSIBLE, I AM DOING THE IMPOSSIBILE,
I AM WORKING ON MIRACLES»

I was born on 5 november 1977. I have been graduated in Economics at the University of Pisa. I am passionate about technologies - social networks have contributed to my private and public life. Thanks to these instruments I have developed the idea of “social street”, an easy and effective way to recreate the sense of community within cities and today it has become a case study at major universities. I chase dreams, impossible targets and I try to always achieve goals, i am curious, a dreamer but with a practical side. My curious nature pushed me to become a journalist eventually working as a freelance writer for various local and international newspapers and magazines. It has been a way to know the stories of people who inspired me. I started to write in 2001 after my imitial travel to Argentina where I met the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo and i discovered their fight for truth and justice. From that moment thanks to my journalism career, i have met people who have transformed their lives either in a battle or a challenge, Vandana Shiva, Ingrid Betancourt, Loretta Napoleoni, Hebe de Bonafini, George Meegan. I am also passionate about music and U2, it is thanks to a shared interest in this band I have met my wonderful wife and i am now also father to the gorgeous Matteo and Noah. Thanks to them, today i work daily to transform this world in a better world to live.
