Memories of School:
It was such a long time ago!!! Going to the flicks with a fixed reel bike to Nairobi and just making it back to
school afterwards.
Since leaving the School:
From September 1963 I went to Dollar Academy, Dollar - Scotland, where I took and passed my 'O' levels.
Went back to Uganda to join my parents in Kampala, and worked a while with an auditing company and a branch of
Twentche Overseas Trading Co. In the meantime my father left the Uganda company to join Kilembe Mines where I
joined up with my folks in 1966.
Early 1969 I left for Rhodesia to join the BSAP in Salisbury.
In 1972 I left for my country of origin, Italy, to find myself a new job and a future.
In August 1973 I married an Italian girl, Antonia, a teacher working for the Italian Public Schools, who gave
me two boys "Christian (1974) and Massimo (1977)".
After having tried various jobs, for which I was not happy, I created an interior design company until 1980
when I was called to represent a company for African Cooperation projects, financed by the Italian Government,
involved in the supply of Technical Education lab equipment which this company manufactured.
In 1989 I continued this work by forming an independent company with exclusive rights for African and Middle
Eastern markets.
Three years ago I had a very serious heart operation caused by a severe diabetese problem, which persists today
and which consequenses have made me retire at quite an early age of 61. I am now 64 years old.
I presently live in Southern Italy at Lauria (Province of Potenza near the East Coast), having previouisly lived
in the capital city of Rome.
