About

My name is Federico and i was born in Italy.

MANIFESTO

• People aren’t brands: do not require, enable or encourage one-dimensionality in other people or yourself.
• Creation without guilt:  start things without knowing where they’re going and don’t feel bad about it.
• People aren’t brands: coherence isn’t a distinctive human trait.
• Creation without production: you’re allowed to create things that are not and will never be products.
• People aren’t brands: cognitive dissonance can distort your perception of others and yourself.
• Public Display of Imperfection: be as publicly flawed as your life allows.
• People aren’t brands: resolve to be an agent of nuance, averse to extremes and joyfully convoluted.
• True is better than cutesy: truth is often found in the ugly, the rotten, the broken – all things that make us uncomfortable.
• People aren’t brands: you’re allowed to change your mind, yourself and your environment. Allow the same to others.
