Stefano, Enrico and Alessandro have known each other since they were teenagers.
And ever since they have shared their love for music, sport and travel.
With a thousand dreams in mind and little money in their pockets, they put on their backpacks and traveled far and wide throughout Italy and Europe.
Arriving simply by hitchhiking or by train, they took part as volunteers in international work camps, such as the mythical La Samaritaine in Brussels, places where, with groups of young people like themselves from all over the planet, they discussed peace and how to change the world.
And they have visited and experienced cities belonging to a continent still divided by too many borders.
They have never stopped since then; they have continued to travel and see the world and are still on the move (and always will be).
Since 2022 they work as assistant/program manager for the American company “Il Chiostro”.
