47 years-old, married with Cristina, 2 kids, Iacopo (12) and Amelia (9). I'm graduated in Economics at Parma University in 1997. I grew professionally in a family business, working for 17 years, at the beginning as a manager and then as C.E.O., in a 50-employiees small factory which has been sold recenlty after a few years of managing difficultiees and financial troubles.

I got interested in permaculture during a travel in Australia in the year 2000. I happend to wwoof for some time in an organic farm in Murwillumbah, north of New South Wales, that was managed by a very nice family following the permaculture principles. But i didn't know it was permaculture for sever years. My poersonal Permaculture discover was accidental while surfing the Web searching for gardening and orchards since I'm really passionate for everithing that is green !

6 years ago, we bought 8Ha/20Acres of south-facing farm land in a beautiful area of the Appennini hills at 600mt ASL, where we built a small wood house and we started a project to transform the area in a educational farm about permaculture itself, which can also attract local cultural tourism.
