“In a single moment my life changed forever.”
Available
in Paperback
and eBook
At
21 years of age I left my life in Italy to pursue my dream of becoming a top
financier on Wall Street. Twenty years later, I woke one day to find that
I was “The Mafia’s Banker.”
In
a single moment my life was changed forever.
I
do not want sympathy. I am not asking for help nor revenge. I just want back
what is rightfully mine. My dignity.

Fascinating
story, as he said in the book, "this can happen to anyone", you can
feel the passion in the writing, couldn't stop reading it.

A
really fascinating story, which you feel comes straight from the heart. I'm not
sure everyone could have survived what happened to Luca and come back with such
positivity.

Biography
Our
Bio has everything to do with whom and where we grew up. My life was influenced
by Raffaele Longobardi, my grandfather. I still remember being a little kid and
listen to all of his stories about America, and that's from whom I've inherited
the desire to pursue my American Dream. I'm 45, when I speak I'm sorry for my
audience, they need to make an effort to understand me, and when I write I feel
sorry for my readers, even after spending 24 years abroad, I still keep all my
Italian speech heritage. I'm a Cereal Entrepreneur, Cereal with a C, because
every time I have breakfast a new disruptive idea comes up. The cost of being
like me? 30 days as Interpol most wanted men and 30 days of maximum security
prison, I have spent 20 years of my life between NY Miami Sao Paolo and Porto
Alegre and the past 4 between Milan and London, I've spent my life investing
for others and for myself, in all kind of business ideas, in internet companies
of the bubble era as well as the modern one, in food startups and more, I've
met lots of founders and entrepreneurs, disappointed by some, surprised by
others, from all, lots of learning.
At
21 left my country, with a bag full of dream and hope and 500 USD in my pocket.
I've slept in some of the best hostels in NY as well as some of the cleanest
train stations, after washing dishes, peeling potatoes and serving tables. At
23 I landed my 1st job in Wall Street, in one of those Stratton Oakmont
satellite companies. And left shortly after, to call my shots in an honest and
institutional organization, with one of the oldest Investment Bank in the world
and later I went on to build my own Investment banking business.
At
29 I've met and married my now ex-wife Maria Joana Parizotto a former Miss
Brazil. With whom I have had a marriage of 14 years and the biggest gift of my
life, daddy's girl, Julia and Raffaella, my daughters.
