My life has been shaped by two kinds of chapters as I like to say—each equally important in defining who I am.
One is the places I’ve lived, each city marking a distinct phase of growth, challenges, and new beginnings. From Italy, where I was born, to Australia, Spain, the UK, and now Bali, every move has been a turning point, expanding my perspective and pushing me forward.
The other is the pursuits that captured me along the way—not just passions, but deep obsessions, callings, and defining experiences. Skateboarding, philosophy, design, financial markets, youtube, entrepreneurship—each one became a chapter of its own, shaping my mindset and influencing the next step in my journey.
Life, like a book, is written one chapter at a time. Some we plan, others unfold unexpectedly—but all of them shape the story.

Hiking the Dolomites - summer 2022
A lesson in persistence, style, and the beauty of repetition—skateboarding is a constant battle against yourself, a daily struggle to improve. It can be brutal, but that’s also what makes it incredibly rewarding. Every fall is a test of resilience, and every landed trick is proof that not giving up pays off. This mindset shaped how I approach challenges in life.
Instead of choosing a degree based on career prospects, I followed my passion for knowledge, picking philosophy over practicality. Studying philosophy taught me how to think deeply, question everything, and see the world from multiple perspectives—a skill set that influences me to this day.
Art and design have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My grandmother used to tell me my drawings were incredible and that I had a natural talent—something that stuck with me. I grew up with her by my side (RIP), and her belief in me fuels my creativity to this day. Art remains a big part of my life, helping me navigate the challenges of running my clothing brand, Maison Enea, and other projects I started.
This one could have a dedicated page on its own(like everything else lol)—seriously. Forex has been part of my daily life since 2020, and it’s one of the biggest psychological challenges a person can take on. Trading is 80% psychology and emotional discipline, and only 20% market fundamentals or technical knowledge. Understanding yourself is just as important as understanding the charts. To this day I am struggling to master the art of trading, but I can't give up(18-03-2025)
Launching Maison Enea is a great example of embracing the grind of entrepreneurship—navigating challenges, adapting to obstacles, and pushing forward. But it’s not the only venture I’ve explored—there have been other paths, ideas, and experiments that didn’t take off like Minimal Vision or InGlutenWeTrust youtube channel and others, but each one taught me something valuable.
Capturing moments, telling stories, and translating ideas into visuals—content creation has been a creative outlet and a tool for business. Whether for my personal projects or branding work for restaurants, photography and videography have played an important role in how I express and share ideas.
I’ve always been into sports and admired people with strong discipline, especially in physical activities. Over the years, I’ve worked to build that same level of commitment in myself, and by 2020-21, I finally made it happen.
Since then, working out, running, hiking, yoga—some form of movement—has become a daily necessity. It’s something I always wanted to integrate into my life, and now it’s one of the most fulfilling parts of my day. There’s something about the effort, the challenge, and the progress that makes it deeply rewarding.
It’s a simple truth: money can’t buy discipline. Your daily workout is 100% up to you.
