Captain

Born in Campione d’Italia on May 22, 1976, I learned the value of hard work and dedication from my parents at a young age.

At 18, while working as a dishwasher at the Campione d’Italia Casino, Chef Cesare Chessorti told me something I’ve always carried with me: “Every job is important and must be done with excellence.” Since then, I’ve pursued excellence in everything I do.

I’ve worked in various roles, from managing the municipal cinema to being a technical gaming employee at the Casino, where I refined the art of hospitality and interacting with people from around the world.

In 2018, after the Casino closed, I opened “Ul Laghee,” two apartments in Blevio to host travelers, sharing the lake’s beauty with them.

The desire to offer complete experiences led me to obtain my boating license and, in 2020, to purchase my first boat. Despite the pandemic, I never stopped believing in the project, overcoming challenges and reinventing myself multiple times.

Today, Black Pearl is my dream come true: a small family of professionals who welcomes every guest with passion, professionalism, and a genuine smile. For me, sailing on Lake Como means sharing beauty, creating memories, and making space for the dreams of both those who work with me and those who come aboard.
