I grew up in Padova - Italy, playing football , making music and going out with friends. I have always had a huge passion for music, I sing and play the guitar mostly.

When I was in University I did a semester abroad in Den Haag πŸ‡³πŸ‡± and you could say that I never really came back. I discovered my love not only for traveling but for living abroad. As soon as I finished university I got on a flight to Australia where I worked and traveled for 2 years.

Then I went to my brother's wedding on a beach in Thailand 🏝and I liked the country so much that I ended up living in Bangkok for 5 years πŸ‘€ enjoying the sabai-sabai life.

At the beginning of 2019 I decided to move back to Europe and chose to be based in Spain (I like it sunny β˜€οΈ ).

Currently based in Barcelona, but still traveling often and enjoying a location independent work and life.

I recently started a podcast, where I invite guests to talk about tech, product management and design, and life in general.

2021

  • Nassim Taleb - Skin in the game

    I always love some Taleb, and I fully subscribe to his way of thinking. Some of my favourites quotes from the book:

    People who are bred, selected, and compensated to find complicated solutions do not have an incentive to implement simplified ones.

    Bureaucracy is a construction by which a person is conveniently separated from the consequences of his or her actions.
    Avoid taking advice from someone who gives advice for a living, unless there is a penalty for their advice.

    Survival comes first, truth, understanding, and science later.
