A brief introduction about me

I developed professionally in Milan, but I was born in Ravenna, a city renowned worldwide for its famous mosaics. It is therefore perhaps no coincidence that my professional experience represents a synthesis of different “tiles”, created through work across a variety of fields. I am the creator of GMT™.

The GMT™ model

GMT™ represents an organisational model for the integrated and evolutionary management, within the tourism sector, of the social, intellectual, relational, and economic capital of a given territory.
The objective of GMT™ is to increase tourist flows, measuring them through a structured commercial activity.

Erasmus+ projects “H.A.R.E.T.” and “#BackToTheLand”







I am also a partner and steering committee member of the two new European projects Erasmus+:
HARET and #BackToTheLand.
Two European projects bringing together partners from seven countries: France - Slovenia - Croatia - Portugal - Italy - Greece - Cyprus.
In April 2026, as part of the HARET project, and again in May 2026, this time as part of the #BackToTheLand project, delegations from Portugal, France, Croatia, Slovenia, Greece, Cyprus and Italy stopped off in Romagna.
