My name is Mattia, and I'm a dedicated primary school teacher in Torino. Teaching is not just my profession but my passion. Values like peace, equality, respect for others, and environmental protection are at the core of who I am. 🌱🏳️‍🌈

Outdoors is where I thrive—I find joy in hiking, tending to my garden, and cultivating fresh vegetables. For me, walking is not just a means of transportation but a profound way to explore and connect with new places.

One of my greatest pleasures is meeting new people during my travels. Each encounter enriches my perspective and expands my horizons.

I'm excited about the upcoming school year, where I'll be working as an Italian language assistant in France. This opportunity fills me with gratitude and enthusiasm.
