My core values

Olmo San Lorenzo

Generally, organizations put out 4 or 5 that are completely made up, with some nice phrases crafted at the table by marketing, and in the end they turn out to be just mantras for their own sake. Values, on the other hand — those that each of us possesses and which are not always good as we understand them — are truly carved within us, they go into the deep structure of our interface, they constitute its basic material. And mine are very ancient, they don't get lost in the mists of time but almost, and they are closely connected to the land where I come from and to which I am bound... we say roots, in fact, and not by chance.

Respect, Integrity, Consistency, Honor, Family : yes, they are quite ancient things, they sound quite strange in a technological profile like mine, but I believe that the ancient is not a dead thing that dies and we look at it with melancholy. It is something we carry within us, we keep it alive, we make it survive through the centuries precisely by preserving it. And I'll tell you more: not by keeping it as it is, but by nourishing it with our very life.

A progressive and visionary antiquity, almost sharp: yes, that's how I can perfectly define my values, and they are applied to a person with an open mind, extremely open and ready for anything, to try everything, without crossing the limits he has set for himself but circling around them through all their boundaries between present, past, and future.

I want to look at the world with honesty, I want to look at the world with naturalness, with my eyes, with the eyes of my soul. And thanks to these roots, not to soar in the wind like a leaf that disappears, but to dance with it: free from the world, free from you, free from myself, to look at this world while, intoxicated by the free dance I perform, it continues always to rotate on itself. And perhaps be able to arrive there, right there close to the truth.
