#sinceonethousandninehundredandeighty

What you see is a collection of snapshots of the most significant moments of my professional and human life from 1980 to the present day.

Each FRAME recounts a phase, a fragment of that journey that I have experienced and that I have chosen to share with you in this account of more than forty years of activity: from dishwasher to screen printer, from door-to-door salesman to entrepreneur, from passion for graphics and photography to the role of project manager.

These have been paths of exhilarating creative madness, which started from afar and have intertwined in a crossroads of extraordinary human relationships, from which I have drawn to feed on curiosity and wonder.

I thank all those I have met along the way, with the wish to continue this long and exciting journey together.

THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE BEAUTY OF THEIR DREAMS

WE WANT YOU!

2024 - MASKS

We want YOU! as the creator and coordinator of the communication campaign.

Europe trusts us! With courage and a hint of trepidation, we cast off our moorings and venture into unknown territories, dreaming of new horizons. With stubbornness, you tear down walls, mistrust and, despite some "quacquaraquà" or "empty pockets", you meet those who will turn out to be your companions on this new journey.

Then, unexpectedly, a signal arrives from Spain, a whatsapp message to which Portugal, Romania and Italy immediately reply. Finally, after a few months, the long-awaited email from the European Commission arrives for the project"MASKS unveiling the arts and works behind the masks": Congratulations... the three-year project has been approved!!! (2024-2026).

AWARDED

2023 - INDUSTRIA FELIX AWARD

THE TOURISM INDUSTRY THAT COMPETES 'Among the best companies in the tourism industry, competing in the fields of communication, culture, information and entertainment, in terms of management performance and financial reliability Cerved

Over the years, we have been committed to promoting travel itineraries linked to the authenticity and typicality of Apulia and its local communities, represented by its intangible cultural heritage of local traditions, folklore and food and wine.

Emotional itineraries told through the mystery of the hooded faces of Easter rites and the historical re-enactments of patronal festivals, the paths of 'slow travel', rather than the tastes and smells of its traditional food and wine products.

Narratives that, by safeguarding the production and transmission of rituals, symbols and images that local communities have jealously guarded for centuries, contribute to keeping collective history present in everyone's memory in a continuous dialogue between tradition and innovation.

MAKE NOISE

2023 - BIT MILANO

Borrowing the title of the famous song by the artist Deodato, for the presentation of the Pugliautentica.it tourist and cultural promotion project at BIT - the Milan Tourism Exchange, I decide that we have to 'make noise', get noticed, otherwise there is no point in going to the Fair.

And so I hired the Bassa Musica Città di Molfetta, led by maestro Aldo Gargano, who for the whole day wandered around the stands at the Fair to the sound of traditional and folkloristic music, creating merriment and mayhem among all the visitors and tour operators present at the Fair, who were amazed and surprised by so much musical merriment.

Minister Matteo Salvini himself, visiting the Puglia region's stand, was enchanted.

But where has the bass drum gone? I had had it sent to the fair many days before and, to keep up the stress, a few hours before the arrival of the Bassa Banda at the Fair, the bass drum was still wandering around among the couriers in the province of Como.

In short, if it had not arrived that morning, the musical performance would have gone up in smoke, jeopardising an important moment of tourist promotion of Apulia auetntica and the opportunity to make Molfetta 's local resources and cultural tradition known to the tourism operators present.

And I would have gone up in smoke too....

This initiative is part of our tourism and cultural promotion projects for local administrations and the enhancement of Puglia's local traditions.

Publications

VALLADOLID

2020. This volume, purchased by the University of Valladolid, collects the most exciting moments of the events we organised for the tourist-cultural promotion project Plenilunio di Primavera, dedicated to the rites of Holy Week between Spain and Apulia.

It was a journey through concerts, photographic exhibitions and conferences, which took us from the towns of Molfetta, Vico del Gargano, Bitonto, and Lecce to the heart of Spain, to Valladolid.

What at first seemed like organisational madness became reality thanks to the extraordinary collaboration with the Feart cooperative in Molfetta.

Every page of this photostory bears witness to the intensity and passion with which we experienced and shared these events.

PATRONS OF APULIA

2015 Patronal festivals in Apulia are something magical, suspended between the sacred and the profane. They are moments when our communities dress up to celebrate, in an explosion of lights, colours, sounds and fires. Every year, these special events unite the Christian faith with our rich popular culture, creating deep bonds that are passed down from generation to generation.

I invite you to travel these itineraries with me, from Gargano to Salento, to discover the most authentic soul of Apulia. It is a journey that will accompany you all year round, revealing the true essence of this land.

If you would like to discover more about these fascinating traditions and see how we can work together to promote local culture and festivities, contact me: I am here to explore new opportunities with you.
