I am an Italian - American, born in Uccle, Belgium, in 1964. Having travelled extensively, and lived in Belgium, Brasil, USA, Luxembourg, France, and China, I find myself most at home in Paris, where I live today. Having an Italian father and an American mother has offered me extensive opportunity to discover the world from different contexts and points of view. My Italian roots lead me to Capri, where the Cerio family, my direct ancestors, had a significant impact on the island.

The island of Capri, or "the rock" as my generation of Cerio cousins term this special place, has continued to gain importance to me as I have grown, both physically and intellectually, more capable of exploring, understanding, and appreciating, the significance of this place unique unto itself in all of the world. My most recent passions include dedicating myself more significantly to protecting and advancing the cultural missions of "the rock" including the Centro Caprense established by my great grandfather, Edwin Cerio, and presided over for decades by my grandmother Laetitia Cerio, for the furthering of "life and study" on Capri.
