welcome back..last night I didn't write my weekly part to this blog, because we went to the SVIEC event in Athenarton, at the Libraros' house.
It was one of the periodical events organized by Mr Jeff Capaccio for the SVIEC members. SVIEC is the Silicon Valley Italian Executive Council, a group of Italian and Italian-American technology executives,who meet together on an informal basis to network, socialize and stay current on issues relating to technology, the law, government and public policy.

As a special group of technology executives within the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF), and for strengthening the ever increasing cultural and economic ties between It
aly and the U.S., SVIEC hosts bi-monthly gatherings where its members can meet other Italian and Italian American technology executives from the San Francisco Bay area, as well as hear from highly-influential guest speakers on a variety of compelling topics.Speaker invited yesterday was Mr Fabrizio Capobianco, CEO of Funambol, who held a very interesting presentation titled:
"Mobile Open Source and the Funambol Model: US Capital and Italian Heart"
Last January the editors of American Venture Magazine appointed Fabrizio Capobianco one of the top 40 technology executives, venture capitalists, inventors and philanthropists under the age of 40 who are driving new growth in the industry. Capobianco was recognized for his vision to put mobile email and other mobile data services on commodity phones by tapping a global community of developers. It has been a real pleasure to meet him and to know that a so young entrepreneur (and most of all an italian one) has been aknowledged by an american review!!!
And last, but not least, before listening to the presentation, we enjoyed a great dinner prepared by one of the most popular italian restaurant in Palo Alto, La Strada. Moreover, there was some great italian wine and coffee!!! Most of all, however, it has been a unique opportunity of networking, where we had the chance to know some of the most influential executives of the valley!
SVIEC meeting: with us, Mr Jeff Capaccio, SVIEC founder ...we hope to join next meeting as well, so that we can let you know about other challenging and successful ITALIAN stories....
See you soon...
Yours,
Elizabeth

Ciao a tutti,
vengo in contatto con questo blog solo adesso: me lo ha segnalato la mia girlfriend Margaret di San Francisco, che si sta dannando l' anima per aiutarmi a trovare un lavoro a cavallo tra Italia e California che ci permetta di stare più insieme.
Sono un ingegnere di Milano, Dirigente d' azienda, e attualmente dirigo una fonderia in ...Francia...! Great!
Allora, se qualcuno di voi ha qualche buona idea o strategia da suggerirmi, così che si possa realizzare questo sogno,si farà un amico sicuro ( anzi due ).
Sperando che, sai mai, ci si possa incontrare, saluto con affetto
Daniele ( Dan )
