I was born in Catania, Sicily in 1974. I graduated in Political Sciences and international relations in Bologna University and worked in consulting firms from 2000 until 2007. Specialized in managment of European funds and consulting services to Public Administration for territorial development programmes. Since 2007 life changed, back to my roots, I started a non profit activity within an historical garden belonging to my family and joined the family business: a nurcery of Mediterranean and subtropical plants and landscape design. In 2010 with together with Rosario and Viviana we started The Hub Sicilia and will open soon the first Hub in Sicily, in Siracusa. From july 2011 I'm project manager @ Gardmed, the network of mediterranean gardens.

Love sailing, skiing, scuba diving.
