Born in Monza, Brianza and a child of the 60s (the years marked by adventure which, in the broadest sense of the term, indisputably and indiscriminately permeated all aspects of society in that period), after graduating in civil engineering at the Polytechnic of Milan, he immediately left for work in Algeria to never stop with Africa.

Two roads will arrive to be built in Cameroon, a port in Mozambique in the midst of civil war and the direction of a humanitarian project, financed by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for the construction of schools, small hospitals and water wells in Angola; his life as an "expatriate", as European experts are called in various countries, will end with two last construction sites in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia.

For pleasure, however, he travels a lot, especially in the Far East, Thailand, India and Burma, the countries of that spirituality that he has always been looking for! Spirituality, the tireless object of his readings and his research; after brief experiences in the "social", with Greenpeace and the Humanist Movement, he focuses on a more individual and personal path, if we want more selfish, of inner growth.

For many years he has been dealing with the ideas of George Ivanovic Gurdjieff . Sometimes the various notes, the marginal notes, as well as the underlinings that he marks during his readings, have been transformed into articles published on some specialized and non-specialized sites of the online world.

Currently, with his family, he manages the ClubHouse of Rugby MONZA 1949, within which he organizes events that are not only convivial but also artistic, cultural and charitable.
