Founding partner / Instructor & Projects

Who am I

I can say that the Marine Protected Area and the Park of Portofino are as if they were my home! I was born and raised in Camogli, graduated naval engineer at the C. Colombo Nautical Institute in Camogli. I love all the activities concerning oar and paddle: I have been canoeing since 1985, I became a FICK kayak instructor in 1991 and I have a lot of experience in nautical trekking both in the Ligurian Sea and in “travel”.

I participated as a rower in the Chiavari-Coti Chiavari (Ajaccio) crossing, and with the rowing group “U Dragun” represented Liguria at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. In OP they call me “the wise man” (I omit “old”!) thanks to my deep knowledge of the Portofino park, its history and the curiosities of the Ligurian territory. The latest achievement: I discovered that I like studying!

“L’Area Marina Protetta e il Parco di Portofino è come se fossero casa mia!”
