When I joined C&L back in 1996 I devoted my career to provide Clients with trust and excellent results, leveraging a formidable international network of professionals, quite often real Friends.

A couple of years after the Blue acquisition, looking at the the thousands of highly-educated talents spreading towards different companies…  I realised how the terrific value of so many C&L/PW/PwC people may quickly be lost in time - like tears in rain. 

This outcome is NOT inevitable, and I'd like to help preventing it.
Do you remember? We used to say “together we can change the world”.
Now we can proudly keep saying that together we keep changing the world, wherever we are and wherever we're heading to.  Let’s keep in touch, meet up again, share new experiences, help old friends who need support.

Our common grounds and extraordinary sense of belonging will drive all this.
This website is my personal contribution to this vision, and my greatest salutation to the PwC Alumni Community.  It would not have been possible without the remarkable help of – once again – a united team of real friends, and in particular Riccardo, the Andrea’s and Silvia, my beautifully creative wife.
I dedicate it to the many friends who helped me so much over the last ten years, in Italy and abroad - the great Global DW and Comms/M&E communities.
