Time flies

Raffaello was born in 1974 in Florence in "Villa delle Rose" clinic and he spent the first 13 years of his life in Florence borough Gavinana. At that time life was only about school, friends, and soccer. At 13 years old Raffaello moved to Prato, a little city close to Florence where, after the first year of high school, he temporarily abandoned his studies and started working in a bakery. Raffaello started practicing new hobbies like party organization and public relations for the most popular clubs around. Before getting into the army, an allergy made him leaving the job in the bakery, and he started working into the power station of a famous textile factory in Prato. Being in such technological environment made him desiring to go back studying and in 1995 he started electronic and telecommunication high school program as a part time student.
