Welcome to my personal home page.
Born in Italy and living in Australia since 2001, I am a world traveler, digital enthusiast, amateur investigator of genetic mutations (or, as my wife would say, a mild hypochondriac) , and above all a strong advocate for studying and working abroad.
Despite my gluten sensitivity—which I still wish were merely a myth or another marketing fad—I remain deeply devoted to Roman-style wood-fired pizza and cornetti, the classic Italian sweet croissants.
I have always loved animals, and I have a particular fascination with sulphur-crested cockatoos: highly intelligent, wonderfully mischievous and endlessly entertaining creatures.
My heroes are not overpaid sports stars, actors, rock musicians or reality-show celebrities. I admire visionary, open-minded people who, often far from the spotlight, dedicate their lives to innovation, research and solving meaningful problems.
I am naturally sceptical, and I suspect that the only thing guaranteed to stop hair from falling is the floor.
If I had a time machine, I would most love to meet Leonardo da Vinci and Albert Einstein—two of the most curious and brilliant minds ever to walk this planet.
Last but certainly not least, I am the proud father of two wonderful little girls who, I hope, will one day help make the world a better place.
