“Starting on a new path can be scary. But after every single step that we walk, we realize how dangerous it was to stay”
Honesty, expertise, and great dedication are just a few of the values Daniele has brought to the D&D Engineering project, which he has enthusiastically been a part of since 1998.
A cornerstone of the company, he too is cursed (or blessed?) with a passionate love for lime and bricks. A lifelong Lego enthusiast, he was born and raised in the province of Milan with one unwavering obsession: BUILDING!
His path seemed written in the stars, and so, almost naturally, in 1988 he graduated with honors as a surveyor.
Creative, pragmatic, and always with a touch of irony, after his studies he entered the world of construction, earning himself a position at Romagnoli, a renowned Milan-based company. He stayed there for the next eight years, and it was during this time that he met Vito and Elio De Stefano, who would later become his future partners and colleagues at D&D.
During his time at the company, he quickly got hands-on experience, immersing himself in technical office activities directly on-site. His passion grew further, especially while working alongside Elio, with whom he had the opportunity to delve into cost dynamics and procurement in the educational, residential, and commercial sectors. His remarkable enthusiasm and determination to see things through led him to deepen his exploration of technological alternatives, always striving to ensure the right balance between price, design, and functionality.
With great boldness, he also took on assignments abroad, working on various international construction sites.
In 1994, when he arrived in northern Germany, he had the opportunity to engage with and absorb European approaches and methodologies in cost management over the next two years. Equally fascinating was his exploration of construction dynamics tailored to the unique climatic challenges of those demanding regions.
Upon returning to Italy, however, everything felt too limiting. It was at that moment that Vito reached out to him, inviting him to join the already thriving D&D project.
Today, Daniele is an essential part of D&D, a highly skilled and trustworthy professional, and the perfect playmaker to ensure a winning shot.
