On my way to India

Slavery behind my door

The Tamarind loves: TOMS Shoes

Giuseppe Matteo Vaccaro Incisa


incisa Ph.D. Candidate in Public International Law (Geneva University School of Law); LL.M. in International Dispute Settlement (HEIED and Geneva University School of Law); Master of Science in Law (Bocconi University School of Law), Undergraduate Degree in Law and Economics (Bocconi University). Age 26, Matteo Incisa's first credo is that simplest things (i.e., an apple?) are the most dangerous, simplistic solutions (i.e., to eat it?) the less effective and simple people (i.e., Adam?) incredibly tedious. Lived in Paris, Florence, Genoa, Milan, Los Angeles and Geneva. Fell eventually for Los Angeles, but was somehow forced to leave it. Second (and actual) choice is Milan, where he feels ...content. Worked for the European Commission, and astonished by how the money of European citizens gets lost in pens and mouse-pads. When assisting an LA-manager met a couple of guys everyone-wants-to-meet, and thought make up can do miracles. When co-hosting a talk show on some TV got the prove make up does miracles – but your ignorance can do worse. Practicing as a lawyer doesn't really make his sense of justice stronger. And, actually, he can live with that. Writing is a passion. If on international politics, a deep passion. Love travels, and traveled enough. That’s why, despite its occasional flaws, he loves Italy and will probably never leave it.

How much do you like to be harassed by superficial conversations, based on stereotypes or – probably worse – journalistic trumpetings? How many times have you been genuinely surprised that even your friends – even those close friends – not only could associate to clichés, hearsays and idiotic speculations but also tried to sell them to you as perfectly logical arguments, [...]

International politics is not that far from being a boxing match. Among babies. While studying this much overrated subject, practitioners amass degrees and PHDs just to come to the self-evident truth that the world is governed by ‘those who have it bigger’. The big&bossy child simply spoons away the snack from the younger. That’s how it works, baby. For this very reason [...]

At school we are commonly taught that, at the time of the Roman Empires, Byzantium was considered ‘the east’ of the world – or, at least, the eastern capital of its part worth knowing. It is not often stressed that, around a thousand years later, such title probably shifted to Moscow. We learn the sad story of the definitive death of the Eastern Roman Empire (indeed, not [...]

Three days in Naples usually grants you an experience hardly definable other than ‘great’: the charming breath of a past European capital hits you with its magnificent palaces, breathtaking views, irrational toponymy and intense decay. How not to mention the food. Even me, kind of post-anorexic-modelish-weight-obsessed-milanese-guy, I am simply overwhelmed by the eclectic [...]

Manila, the 29th of April 2008 As far as I can remember, I have always been a convinced supporter of the European Union. Even when this implied, for Italy as for many other countries, the amazing rise of prices following the introduction of the Euro; or when, doing a stage in the Commission, I realized the incredible waste of public money and the astonishing amass of unproductive (and [...]

Right before starting to write, on a (supposedly) prestigious social-web-network it occurred to my eyes to stumble on an unpleasant sight. Commenting on the results of the Italian general elections held in the last two days, a sincerely pitiful Swedish lady (or at least, one with a name that sounded like Swedish) expressed her genuine scarcity of understanding for the last choice of the Italians – [...]

Many Italians keep thinking France as something necessarily ‘bigger and more important’ (in what, specifically, is not exactly clear). Thus, they automatically recognize to the neighbouring country a sort of ‘superior role’ out in the world and in Europe. While the first thought may be true under some aspect, the following recognition is – nowadays – a critical mistake based on an [...]
