Tell us a little about yourself (nationality, professional background and experience and expertise): I am Italian and have had the privilege of working with the Italian Customs Agency since 1995. Over the past 20+ years, I have gained extensive experience in strategic planning, coordination, and event organization. My professional journey took me abroad early on, where I worked as an expert and coordinator in various international projects, including twinning initiatives with countries such as Turkey, Kosovo, and Albania.
