MOVING THE MOUNTAIN
YOU ARE NOT BORN A LEADER, YOU BECOME ONE
According to the dictionary, to move the mountain means to achieve spectacular and seemingly unattainable results by making every possible effort. “Every possible effort,” in a managerial and corporate context, means being able to create an environment of involvement whereby everyone feels part of the same project and goal. This book is about management and leadership through themes very dear to the author, who traces them by interweaving theoretical learnings with concrete experiences.
Dedicated to those who dream of a career, those who are making it and those who have already made it. And to all of you that consider as major values the humbleness, hard work, acceptance of your own limits and perseverance in achieving your dreams.
There are many ways to move a mountain and, even if at times you feel you are not making any progress, you must persevere and give yourself time. The results will be seen from a distance, when you look back at the path you’ve taken with a smile and a hint of nostalgia.
ISIDORA
AND THE SECRETS OF VILLA TREVIAS
At the top of the hill of Mirzia, a small town in central Italy, stands the grand Villa Trevias, a family property that has gone from splendour to neglect and poverty over time and generational changes. Cesare, the eldest son of Antonio Trevias and owner of a French wine estate in Saint-Èmilion, decides to deal with the sale of the old Italian property himself, when he comes across a secret room that holds a skeleton and thus awakens a mysterious ghost. He and his wife, Alice, begin to investigate, bringing to light ancient family secrets buried by time. A tale full of twists and turns, alternating between visions and dusty old archives and the love that unites each member of this large family with noble origins, culminating in a new passion that is meanwhile consumed in the small châteaux in France.
