WAMI - Water with a Mission — Our mission is to provide clean water to people in need and give to everyone the possibility to solve the problem of water in the world, by transforming an ordinary act in something extraordinary. Why water? Water is the most important resource we have, but still today 700 million people do not have access to clean water. Most of these people livein rural and isolated areas and have to walk long hours to get the water necessary for the survival of their family. Lack of drinkable water not only endangers people's health, but also takes away a lot of valuable time from women and children who usually take care of the supply. What can we do? With every WAMI bottle, you donate 100 litres of clean water. Thanks to a simple act, you help us build water projects in villages in need and change the world one bottle at a time. Our water flows down the Italian Alps at 1600 metres above the sea level, from an oligo-mineral source known for its organoleptic properties. By choosing this brand, everyday-water-consumers have the possibility to make the change in the world in an ethical and responsible way. In addition of giving access to drinkable water to villages in need, WAMI is also committed to sustainability. The packaging is 100% recyclable and made with 50% recycled r-PET plastic, the maximum allowed in Italy. Moreover, in order to minimize the environmental impact and to contribute to the reabsorption of CO2, the start-up plants trees in Italy in collaboration with Rete Clima.

This was the beginning of Silentus.

Wallfarm — WallFarm manufactures LIA, a control unit that enables plants to grow by themselves.LIA is not a custom made solution and neither an expensive robot for industrial automation: it's a small automation box that needs no complicated installation and no specifications, just take 2 minutes to plug some cables, push play and all the plantsinvolved in the system grow by themselves from seeding to gathering whether they are 10, 100 or 10.000.LIA collects data over air temperature, humidity, pressure and altitude and over water temperature, PH and Ec as well as lighting hours, irrigation and water oxygenation.
Hotbox Food — Founded in 2016 in Maranello, Italy, a team of part time pizzaiolos and engineers were fed up with delivering cold and soggy pizza to their clients. Desperately failing to find a solution they decided to take matters in their own hands. As so many great innovations the idea was sparked by an accident when Claudio burned himself on the exhaust pipeof the scooter while delivering pizza. Aerospace engineers, cousin Anthony, long time friend Marco and Industrial Automation technician Domenico applied advanced physical principles and ingenious mechanical innovation to make Hotbox – keeping the food hot (85°C) and crunchy (steam-free) for up to 40 min of transport, recycling the excess heat from the scooter engine. Since then the team is growing and continue to innovate and work hard to make Hotbox available for restaurants and delivery teams across the globe, with the mission to elevate the quality of the food delivery industry – hot & crunchy food at the doorstep!

Passato professionista nel 1999, ho negli anni vestito le divise di Cantina Tollo, Saeco, Lampre, Acqua & Sapone, Quick Step, Fuji e Carmiooro. In carriera ho ottenuto tre vittorie, il Gran Premio Fred Mengoni, una tappa dell'Euskal Bizikleta in Spagna e il Trittico Lombardo, tutte nel 2006; come gregario ho invece contribuito ai successial Giro d'Italia di Gilberto Simoni nel 2003 e di Damiano Cunego nel 2004. Sono stato per quattro anni convocato dalla nazionale italiana ai Campionati del Mondo (in un'occasione riserva), contribuendo ai successi in linea di Paolo Bettini nel 2007 a Stoccarda e di Alessandro Ballan nel 2008 a Varese. Annuncio il ritiro dall'attività agonistica nel gennaio 2011, rimango comunque nel mondo del ciclismo come Sport Manager del team UCI Continental D'Angelo & Antenucci-Nippo. Nel 2012 e 2013 ricopro la figura di Team Manager nel Team Nippo-De Rosa vincendo due Giri del Giappone, il giro di Malesia e conquistando oltre 40 gare in due anni, portando così il Team ad essere una delle formazioni di maggiore interesse nel mondo Asiatico. Parallelamente dal 2011 inizio una nuova esperienza personale come co-founder & events manager di "Bike Division Tour Operator" specializzato esclusivamente in viaggi alle più importanti Granfondo nazionali ed internazionali e in viaggi per Cicloturisti con oltre 40 destinazioni a livello mondiale. Grazie il mio Know How ed alla trentennale presenza/esperienza nel mondo del ciclismo e sportivo in genere sono stato avvicinato da diverse ed importanti aziende Leader nei loro mercati che mi hanno coinvolto in progetti di consulenza commerciale e marketing, legati sia al mondo ciclistico e cicloturistico in genere, ottenendo sin da subito ottimo riscontro professionale.
