I manage a portfolio of clients for whom I make daily investment decisions and offer personalised advice to help them achieve their financial goals of asset protection and growth
What I love most about my job is getting to know my clients' stories
I love being a little part of their family
I think my most important soft skill is empathy
I can immediately empathise with my clients and win their trust
I entered UniCredit at a very dark time in my life
I had just finished an internship with a multinational company and then Coronavirus destroyed all my plans and I had to return home to Catania
born and raised in a family of sales professionals
UniCredit as a multinational corporation seemed too big for me and I didn't feel up to the task
UniCredit often organises events and training sessions
Among the most recent ones was "Talento Diffuso," a workshop that gave me the opportunity to meet colleagues from all over Italy and share best practice
Another unforgettable moment for me was the Culture Day in 2023 where I had the opportunity to meet our Group CEO
It was a beautiful and content-rich experience
and according to my schedule I meet my clients
while carefully planning their future with great dedication
Three words to describe my personality: translucent
Three words to describe my job: challenging
As a Collateral Manager in Commodity Trade Finance
I am responsible for working with oil and metal traders to finance the transactions that move the real economy and shape the world
It is an exciting and fast-paced industry where every decision has a direct impact on the global market
One of my top skills is my ability to make strategic decisions under pressure
This skill is crucial in my role as I am constantly assessing risk and ensuring that the bank
which is providing the financing to the client
has the necessary collateral to protect the business
The work environment is highly interactive and dynamic
Collaboration and communication are key in this sector
and I thrive in this fast-paced and ever-changing environment
One of the biggest benefits of working with my team at UniCredit is flexibility and the ability to have a quality work-life balance
This allows me to pursue my hobbies outside of work
gardening and volunteering for a dog shelter (on social media) to help find adopters for rescue dogs
making one of the best decisions of my life
These activities bring balance to my life and allow me to recharge and stay motivated in my demanding job
A typical day for me starts with reviewing the latest market news to stay informed on industry developments
I then work closely with traders to assess their financing needs and ensure that all transactions are properly supported and backed up by the respective collaterals
and communicate with various stakeholders to ensure that everything is running smoothly
It is a challenging but rewarding job that keeps me on my toes and allows me to make a real impact
Three words to describe my personality: resilient
LBV Magazine English Edition
In a recent discovery that adds yet another piece to the complex mosaic of World War II in the Mediterranean
a Junkers Ju 88 plane was found 51 meters deep on the seabed near the small island of Capo Passero
from Catania with the mission to bomb the port of Tripoli
it was intercepted and attacked by night fighters
forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing at sea
under the scientific supervision of the Soprintendenza del Mare
has worked tirelessly to investigate and retrieve data to accurately identify both the aircraft and its crew
it has been confirmed that four crew members were aboard: the pilot
who was injured in the incident; the observer
who sadly lost his life and was buried in Motta S
who also perished and was buried in the same location as his comrade
The identification of this Junkers Ju 88 provides a new perspective on reconstructing the air operations that took place along the Syracuse coast during World War II
These events occurred in the critical context of Operation Husky
the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943
fought fiercely to halt the Allies’ advance toward the Italian peninsula
with many Junkers Ju 88s playing an active role in this effort
The Junkers Ju 88 was one of the most versatile and widely used aircraft of the Luftwaffe
from bomber and night fighter to reconnaissance aircraft
Its versatility made it a cornerstone of German air operations on multiple fronts
where it was used to attack Allied convoys and land targets
many of these planes were shot down while attempting to stop the Allied invasion of Sicily’s shores
Historical records indicate that in the first days of Operation Husky
several Junkers Ju 88s succeeded in sinking Allied vessels
although at the cost of significant losses in the waters near Syracuse
The discovery of this latest plane joins a series of recent findings of Ju 88 aircraft along the Syracuse coast
underscoring the intense aerial military activity in this area during the war
another Junkers Ju 88 wreck was found 19 meters deep
Although the aircraft was severely damaged
as well as some tanks and parts of the electrical and hydraulic systems
lay in a flight position and were submerged in a meadow of Posidonia
a seagrass that carpets the seabed in various areas of the Mediterranean
aluminum fragments likely belonging to the same aircraft were located
Although the fuselage and engines were missing
identification was possible thanks to the arrangement of distinctive structural elements and analysis of technical documentation
These recent findings bring the total number of Junkers Ju 88 aircraft found in Syracuse waters to six
The first of these planes was discovered in the 1980s in Punta Izzo
at 63 meters in 2021; at the mouth of the Simeto River
at 102 meters in 2023; and finally in Calabernardo in September 2024
The discovery and study of these wrecks have not only historical value but also symbolic significance: they serve as a tribute to those involved in these events and allow the memory of those who lost their lives in these conflicts to be remembered and preserved
documenting these findings builds a lasting record that helps future generations better understand the context and magnitude of the wartime operations in the Mediterranean

In a fluctuating segment such as the Sicilian citrus fruit one - affected by competition from abroad
price wars and unusual weather - there is only one exception: the extraordinary demand for Tarocco Lempso oranges
FreshPlaza visited Motta Cooperativa Agricola to better understand the reasons behind this with sole administrator Lucio Olivieri
sole administrator of Motta Cooperativa Agricola
"The only citrus fruit that sparked the interest and enthusiasm of consumers is Il Fragolino®
It boasts the varietal characteristics typical of Tarocco Lempso: red flesh with a unique flavor and an extraordinary anthocyanin pigmentation of the peel and flesh."
Motta Cooperativa Agricola was established in 2005 by 21 producers highly specialized in the cultivation and commercialization of citrus fruit and of clementines
sanguinello and tarocco oranges in particular
located in an area destined to the production of high-quality citrus fruit within the Motta Sant'Anastasia plain (CT)
"I believe I am not exaggerating when I say I am the creator of a revolution
The proof is in the fact that my foreign clients book supplies in advance without even questioning the prices although
if compared to the €0.40/kg of other local varieties
Switzerland is crazy about Il Fragolino® for its distinct strawberry aftertaste."
The reason is simple: the high temperatures registered up until a few weeks ago delayed fruit ripening and pigmentation
this did not affect Il Fragolino® due to its high anthocyanin content
Prices currently hover between €2.00 and €2.20/Kg for grades 3/4/6.
Coop Motta started commercializing the fruit on 10th December 2019
which usually reach around 350 tons/hectare
Fragolino oranges boast a high sugar level of around 13-14 degrees Brix
a long shelf-life and a considerable resistance thanks to the characteristics of its peel
This means they are perfect for some market segments and mostly to be exported to far-away destinations
Il Fragolino® seedless oranges are very much in demand especially in Northern Europe
especially in countries such as Switzerland
which tend to look for genuine natural products that undergo no treatments
"Il Fragolino conquered the market as it combines flavor and appearance thanks to the high anthocyanin content
our research to reduce irrigation emphasizes these characteristics making these oranges the most eco-friendly on the market," concluded Euroagrumi director Salvatore Rapsarda.
