Libero Stile

Libero Stile is an investment banker without investments, still trying to figure out what to do once he's grown up. He is passionate about food, books and horses, loves London but dreams about Puglia. He has probably made all the possible wrong choices a young man can make at this age, and thankfully that has made all the difference.
