Swiss-Italian by origin. I run AI companies from the UAE, split time between Monaco and Switzerland, and live across some of the most interesting corridors in the world.
That dual perspective is the point of this publication.
What this is
Mont Vita started in 2023 as a place to think out loud about intentional living. I published 22 posts, then life intervened and the site went quiet for two years. This is the restart.
The name means “mountain of life” — a nod to Switzerland and the idea that the interesting stuff happens on the way up, not at the summit.
I write about three things:
Essentialism. Not minimalism as an aesthetic. Minimalism as an operating system. Doing fewer things with more attention. Owning less. Deciding more carefully. The people I respect most in tech and finance all converge on the same conclusion: the real flex is how little you need.
Nomadism. I’ve lived out of hotels, run companies across time zones, built a life that works across the UAE, Monaco, and Switzerland. The European-Gulf corridor is one of the most underrated paths in the world, and I write about both sides with the specificity that only comes from living it.
Technology. I build AI products for a living. I use technology constantly. But I’m increasingly interested in the line between tools that serve you and tools that own you. I write about both sides, with a founder’s eye for what actually ships and what’s vapor.
What to expect
First-person essays, mostly. Some practical (gear, tools, systems). Some reflective (decisions, trade-offs, what I got wrong). Published when something’s worth saying, not on a content calendar.
The audience is founders, investors, and operators. People who can afford the best and want to know what’s actually worth it. Not aspirational content. Insider perspective from someone who’s at the table.
I don’t have a team. There’s no editorial board. It’s just me writing, sometimes with AI assistance on the first draft, always with my own perspective and editing.
What this is not
This is not a hustle blog. I won’t tell you to wake up at 4am. I won’t sell you a course. If anything, I’m trying to figure out how to do less and mean it.
This is not influencer content. I’m the guy the influencers wish they could have dinner with. The difference is I’ve built the things, lived in the places, and used the products. No gifted items, no PR packages, no pretending.
This is a personal publication by one person with opinions, a Swiss passport, and dual residency.
