MATTEO CASOLA, 29, Italian, Parma, civil engineer/architecture student/world explorer. Sees everything for all the beauty it has.
Describe a moment you thought hope was lost and how you recovered from that moment of insanity: The first time I went to NYC, I spent 2 months on my own and couldn't meet people. I felt really lonely and doubted myself. It all changed when I met some beautiful people who made me see everything in a new way.
Describe one amazing thing you have seen/done: I started beautiful and intimate friendships from nothing, the kind that, in a short time, impact you for the better.
What do you hope you made a difference in: The everyday life of the people I meet, especially the people I love. And, well, the urban design of cities in the new century. Why not?
What's the best advice you can give someone: Always try to spread light and joy on everyone's life and your life will be bright and joyful too.
What's your favorite food: Pizza, of course!
