MISSION
Travelling, becoming,
continuously building
on the fundations
of our civilization:
the world of Andrea Palladio,
among Renaissance and Venice,
a golden age when
useful, perpetuity and beauty
coincided.

With the aim to restore its vital strength
within our time,
to project it into the new world
of the new generations to come.
About myself I cannot promise other than
a long effort a great diligence, and love,
that I put to understand and practise what I promise.
