Notes from Chicama

The ocean’s long caress.

I'm a full-time mad man. I live in Milan, but my mind is often elsewhere—chasing new horizons, strong wind, waves that challenge you, and the thrill of discovery.
Born in Cortina and raised in the Dolomites, I completed my studies between
Hawaii, Costa Rica, London and Madrid.
Nature is my first inspiration: it taught me how to respect, to risk, and how to truly breathe.

I seek energy that shakes you, the adrenaline of controlled risk—moments that leave a mark on your skin.
But I don’t do it alone.

Even in the city, I find sparks: I’m a real estate developer, building spaces that tell stories.
And I’m launching projects I’m passionate about—from skincare to classic cars.
For me, energy can be born in a startup just as it can in a swell.

2. Why Chicama? What pushed you to chase the longest wave in the world all the way to Peru?

Chicama was a calling. A promise. After years of chasing the perfect wave, I wanted a place that could also be a refuge—something real, outside of time. Chicama isn’t just sea: it’s ancient sand, wind that tells stories, and waves that seem to never end. It’s where you reconnect with what truly matters: friends, brothers, family—people who share the same hunger for authenticity. It’s a place where all worries fade, and only the sense of freedom remains.

3. How does your relationship with the ocean change when you ride a wave that never seems to end?

It becomes meditation.
Long waves teach you to slow down—insidetoo.
You have time to think, to decide, to watch the horizon.
You feel part of something bigger, as if the world is finally in sync with your breath.

4. What does freedom mean to you, out there, alone with your board?

Freedom is the feeling of not needing to be anyone.It’s wind in your hair, sun on your skin, salt in the air.It’s the ability to fly—not to escape.It’s feeling light on the foil. Alive. The opposite of weight.And when you come back to shore, starving and happy, your eyes are full of joy and your heart rich with emotion.Everything feels more beautiful.

5. What did you bring back from Chicama—on land and in the water?

The love for small things. The beauty of a beer shared in laughter at sunset.
The luxury of a hot shower after a long day.
The joy of a grilled fish, eaten together. Chicama reminded me that happiness lives in the
details. And often, when everything else is stripped away, what remains is what truly
matters.

6. What do you feel in that exact moment when you catch a wave? Is it instinct, control... or pure freedom?

It’s a perfect mix.
Instinct gets you started, control keeps you standing—and freedom...
freedom is everything else.
It’s that split-second when risk and clarity meet, and you make a choice.
And if you choose well, it brings a deep satisfaction that makes you say:
"Yes, it was worth it. I truly had the perfect glide—
and Chicama really is the perfect wave."

“For me, sport is life, and adventure is part of the soul of every athlete seeking a connection with nature and the world around them.Chicama is a magical place—still untouched and wild. Millions of years ago, the Incas lived here, and already in the 1800s, they were among the first to ride the waves on canoes made of bamboo reeds.Thanks to my nephew, I was able to live this dream at the dawn of my sixtieth birthday. From now on, Chicama is my mecca: a harbor for the soul, a destination that will remain a fixed point in my journeys to come.”
