Please allow me to introduce myself

My Philosophy

Talk is cheap, only facts matter. That said, if I had to define myself in a few sentences, these three would be my mantras.

There are few things I know, but fewer that I cannot learn

Life is a continuous evolution, and learning is the key to evolving.

Body, mind and soul.

If you want things you've never had, you have to do things you've never done

It’s difficult to move out of your comfort zone, but if you want to improve your life you have to go far, far away from it.

Don't focus on the problem, focus on the solution

It’s not only about being positive … it’s a matter of determination: the solution is always there.

It just needs to be found.

My Life

Intense and hectic, but definitely worth living.

The Wolf

Against all odds… she’s real.

It’s like a tornado:
powerful and sudden;
it can sweep you away, or it can make you soar.

But just when you think it’s all over, it becomes the very breath of your soul.

The Hunt

Like most adults, I spend a big slice of my time working.

And for this very reason, the quality of my working time is essential … it’s a big part of the quality of my life.

The last three years were probably some of the most intense ever…

Smile when you start in the morning and smile when you leave the office …

And in between be as productive as you can.

Life has many sides, but there is much more …

There’s me.

I have many hobbies and interests, not least keeping myself in decent shape.
Physical and mental.
Barbells and books are both important.
Sometimes I dedicate more time to one, sometimes to the other.

All in all, I like what I do … not always the right ones.
But nevertheless …

And more, much more than this
I do it my way

About me

It's quite difficult to summarize a life in a few shots. There have been many turning points in mine, as in anyone's.

  1. Somewhere in the late 1970s

    Born

    I was born in Padua, and I lived the first part of my life in its pleasant countryside.
    As a young boy I spent all my summers at the Venice Lido, which still holds a big piece of my heart.

  2. Many, many years later ...

    My Graduation

    After sailing many troubled waters in life, I finally got a degree in engineering.
    Not that this changed my life so much … or maybe yes, depending on your point of view.

  3. Not so many years later

    Moving to Switzerland

    Quite an experience indeed … Lights and shadows, but for sure a defining moment in my life.
    Getting out of the so-called comfort zone is both painful and thrilling.

  4. Some months later

    Deutschland Deutschland

    The strongest life experience so far … Successes, hard times and some truly unexpected ones.

  5. Spring 2015

    Back to the roots

    A lot of changes in a very short time … and suddenly back to my roots.
    Mixed emotions, joy and despair … a new chapter of my life.

  6. Autumn 2020

    And so it begins ...

    It took a lifetime for us to get together. She was not just important to me … she was the only thing that mattered.

  7. January 2025

    ... and so it ends

    One night we were together, the next day we weren’t.
    When she was wounded I was always there; now that I’m severely wounded … she isn’t.
    No explanations, just backstabbing.
    No answers … and by now, no more questions either.
