Born March 15th, 1961 in Como (Italy) I lived most of my time in this place. Until now, life was generous with me letting me travel in many places, knowing several people from different Countries and expanding my soul beyond the hills surrounding the village I live.

I am a simple man who cares to put Love in everything he does. My main interests – beside my family and my beloved dog – are music & technology.

Italian is my mother tongue, English my second language. Being married with a wonderful south american lady, I recently discovered that I can also have basic conversations skills in Spanish as well.

A bit more in depth

When I was a child I dreamed of becoming a missionary, being able to help the world. I still remember “battles” for the respect of the environment from the primary school. During my high school studies I started to love technology. Thanks to my first job as a programmer, I learned to always look ahead, to analyze and try to prevent problems. It’s not by chance that the slogan for the company I founded and carried on for twenty years was: “Looking Ahead”. And it was thanks to this philosophy, combined with the ability to adapt the vision to the upcoming changes, that I was successful.

In this particular period we are experiencing a new cultural revolution that will lead us to change many aspects of our lives. In my opinion, we are moving from a society where “being is based on what one has” to a society where “I am because I have something to offer that will be shared with everyone”, a revolution that will change our way of life in many ways.

I think that finally we begin to glimpse a new awareness, and the competitiveness that has characterized the past and which led to the results we can all see – both from a standpoint of non-growth as human beings as well as the environmental degradation – is giving way to new forms of coexistence between people all over the world that, over time, will lead to improve the quality of life for all and as far as possible, some recovery of the environment and values that appear to have been forgotten.

Where does the “Camaleo” nickname comes from?

Sometime ago, a friend of mine started to call me Camaleo as he noticed my ability to adapt to different situations trying to fit as much as possible. I liked the idea, found a nice chameleon illustration and used the name for my first open source project: phpCAMALEO.
