Below you can read what some of our staff members and local counsellors say about themselves and their work for Studio Papperini:
Christian Spina, local counsellor Catania:
“I was born in Catania, where I now study Foreign Languages and Literatures. I am a passionate traveller, I adore studying the history of the places I visit and collecting objects which characterize those places and their culture. I am a very optimistic person and I appreciate truthful human relationships. Working as a local counsellor for Studio Papperini gives me the opportunity to get in touch with people of different nationalities, and to conciliate professional reliability and friendly relations with respect to every single client.”
Gianluca Ruggeri, immigration consultant:
“I have been working for Studio Papperini since 2002 as an immigration consultant. I assist our clients in preparing the documentation required for the application of their visa and residence permits. While I work full-time for Studio Papperini, I am studying Modern Languages and Literature as well. I like travelling, reading, listening to music and meeting people from foreign countries. I wish every person moving to Italy will really feel at home!”
Luisa Ziliani, local counsellor Milan:
“I’m married with a petrol geologist and for this reason I have lived in many parts of the world for about thirty years, working in various fields such as teaching Italian to foreign managers, providing Italian culinary lessons and, one of my passions, collecting and trading antique. I have lived in Turkey, Egypt, Australia, England and Scandinavia, and during these relocations in countries so different one from the other I have experienced myself problems of settling-in on all levels. The difficulties in the fields of bureaucracy, housing, social and cultural adaptation are very familiar to me. In addition, my inborn inclination to human contact and enthusiasm certainly help when working for expatriates. It is great to work for Studio Papperini. Support and friendship stand at the basis of our relations. I speak Swedish, Danish, Norvegian, English, French and basic Spanish.”
Yvonne Feberwee, local counsellor Verona:
’I am Dutch and have lived in Italy for more than 30 years now, I am married and have a daughter. I have always worked in the field of interior decoration and restructuration of houses, but since 5 years I also work with great enthusiasm as a local counsellor for Studio Papperini. As a foreigner, I have experienced myself what it means handling issues related to relocation and integration in a foreign country. I can speak five languages so I am able to communicate with most clients in their own language, thus making them feel at their ease. I like this job because it is dynamic and gives me the opportunity to meet a variety of people. In Studio Papperini I have found an atmosphere of reliability and praiseworthy collaboration.”
