The most essential part of a ‘profitable bright idea’ is that of training other people to understand and execute it. At times this aspect is undervalued, but in this specific case, in which it is imperative to create as many dignified means of employment as possible-- for those who live in sub-Saharan countries and otherwise would have no choice but to immigrate and risk death  in Niger’s desert,  Libya’s jails, followed by the Mediterranean sea—the training of craftsmen for the methods we have devised, is paramount to our expansion and success.

I would like to combine both training for a selected group of people who are already residing in Italy,  along with training for those who have not left their native lands, but would be forced to do so if they cannot find work to feed their families. I believe this  kind of cross fertilization can lead to the most successful human and economic development.

​As I have at present spent a good part of my professional life teaching dozens of people to become competent in three main areas of work: the building trades,  the mastery of computer graphics and animation software,  and  the theatre, I believe I have the experience to establish a comprehensive training program, that will involve both men and women, in the project we have developed.
