Objective
Inspire the next generation of leaders.
Andrea’s success was not fuelled by inheritance or luck, but by hard work and scholarships that opened up the doors of the most prestigious academic institutions: Politecnico di Milano, Collegio di Milano, Harvard Business School.

The life goals of Andrea
Quoted verbatim from Andrea’s Harvard Business School successful application essay, in 2006:
Build a dream-realizer company – i.e. a firm which enables smart people to transfer their passion into concrete enterprise – as the most meaningful ambition for a person to have
Grow the enthusiasm to face those problems that so often arise in entrepreneurial activities
Support and finance talent to become leaders of institutions that really make a difference in the community
Have passion for innovation and uncommon attention to people with scarce financial resources
Offer the possibility to young kids to step out of a dismissed life
Generate a strong desire for youth to succeed in sports and then inspire them to embrace success in everything they do
