ABOUT ME

The schools I attended.. elementary, junior, accounting, and economics at University Bocconi taught me how the system works and while I was formed to serve the system, I realized that, beyond appearances, and convenience, my the road was not that one... I could not see a future for the western model of development unjust and unsustainable, both on human and environmental level, so ... I have abandoned the path of conformity, and I followed my vocation. Then I attended a long series of 'masters' at University of Life, where I learned to self-manage my physical and mental health, to understand the most weak among my neighbors, to share with them my talents, my creativity and wealth and therefore I gained a bit of the wisdom that comes after having lived a full and varied life, having read much, traveled much, loved much.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in positive change… studied, experimented, monitored, served change throughout my whole life. My fields of research cover a wide range of human activities… political science, psychology and social behavior, economics and fair trade, holistic health, energy, spirituality, and the expansion of human consciousness.
After practicing and integrating many different teachings in my dailylife, in 1982, during a nine months trip to India I learned about Gandhi, met with Vinoba Bhave and found the synthesis and the whole of my search and a new direction for my personal, family and community life.
