## My Story
![[adriano_fontanari_cover_2026.png]]
The background image of this site has a bit of my personal story:
- **The mountains**: I was born in Ziano di Fiemme, a small city located in Fiemme Valley - in the heart of Trentino (Italy). The mountains in the image (Cime della Val di Sadole) can be seen from my hometown. This is what let me practice trail running in the past.
- **The Golden Gate Bridge:** I grew up with an international mindset and a deep interest in innovation. When I was 17, I was fascinated by the use of technology to improve health outcomes. So I co-founded [Ponterosso](https://ponterosso.eu/).
- **The penguin**: penguins are my favorite animals. They are relentless walkers, friendly, and adaptable. Fun fact: I always receive penguin plushes as a birthday gift. I have around 40 of them at home (and counting)!
I also like to experiment with Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and Quantified-Self approaches.
**The writing**: I write poetry to translate the landscapes of my soul into words - for whoever hasn't found those words yet. [tr#acque](https://threewater.adrianofontanari.com) is a digital poetry experiment in it.
