Water

Emotion: tranquility, introspection. 

My life has always been connected to water. From my days as a kid in my hometown, Trieste, going on a sailing boat with my father Paolo and grandfather Sergio, to my early adulthood years of rowing with C.C. Saturnia, every day was spent on or by the water. When I started studying environmental technology, it made sense why I opted to specialize in water. 

An essential element of life, water is a source of peace and tranquility, introspection. It gives you the power to slow down, to refresh and recharge. Africa is blessed with water, and there are so many places where you can have a direct connection with this element, be it a waterfall, the ocean, or its vast rivers and lakes, as well as secluded, unique ponds.
