I am proud of many professional achievements, but two of them are the most significant. When I went to the North pole for a campaign in favor of a ban on seal fur trading, was a complex campaign with a lot of advocacy, lobbying and communications issues but at the end we win. Another one was sending my last organization “in the space” thanks to ESA. |

Affiliations and Achievements: |
As UNICEF we had an outstanding collaboration with ESA Italian Country desk, the video message, recorded on board of the International Space Station by the Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano, became the special TV spot for the Italian NatCom Christmas fundraising campaign. The video message was about the fact that child malnutrition is a universal issue that concerns all humanity, even outside our planet.
The video went viral – with 125,000 views on YouTube in few days, reposts on more than 100 other web-sites, coverage by 20 Italian newspapers and national press agencies and three national television stations, and broadcast on the Sky TV network for two weeks over Christmas. Television spots, print media and posters urged the public to donate in support of UNICEF and its efforts to provide “the most important lunch” in a malnourished child’s life. Supporters were invited to a virtual Christmas dinner with UNICEF, for a 2€ donation. This combination of social and mainstream media projects raised $1.6 million
