Humor and Laughter Were Gifts From His Mother, Baroness Camilla with Guest Blockchain and P2P Consultant, Roberto Capodieci
- Humor and Laughter Were Gifts From His Mother, Baroness Camilla with Guest Blockchain and P2P Consultant, Roberto Capodieci 36:07
He wasn’t your average ordinary young child because of his knack for computer skills, coding expertise and love for video games, etc.
Roberto calls himself an “IT Craftsman.” He likes to know how each thing works down to the tiniest detail. He’s a father, husband and wonderful co-worker. HIs clients have said, “Roberto’s exceptional knowledge is only surpassed by his kindness and willingness to support others.”
My guest’s passion lies in Technology, Web 3, P2P, Blockchain and so much more. Roberto was so excited to join us and share stories of his mother Camilla who’s mother was a Baroness and the title was eventually passed down to Camilla when her mother passed away. Roberto’s parents were never physical when it came disciplining him. They were able to have conversations to clear any issues up. Often, Roberto’s parents did his usual chores for him because it was just easier for them. Unfortunately, that “hands off attitude,” had a bit of a down side to Roberto’s experience. Had Roberto been accused of things, things he didn’t do, his parents took other adult’s word for truth and they never allowed Roberto to defend himself of any of these false accusations. He uses this experience as a big lesson especially in raising his own children. He’s adamant about having these open and honest conversations with his children. False accusations have a lasting effect on all of us, especially when you’re a young child. He’s still waiting to get an apology from the Boy Scout leader.
One big surprise for my guest was that he never had any idea that his grandmother was a baroness. He had no idea that nobility was in his genes. It was lucky for Camilla’s family, because there was wealth in the family and that allowed them access to food during WWII. Roberto says that it shaped his mother’s personality. “She would never throw away one gram of leftover food and use it the next day.” Camilla wouldn’t let anyone throw anything away, no waste, preserve everything. They enjoyed spending time enjoying simple things in life, like being out in nature and long bicycle rides in the mountains.
Camilla grew up in the mainland of Venice, Italy.
Both parents were into mathematics. Camilla continued her studies but didn’t finish a degree. Shortly afterward she became a housewife and a full time mother. Many years later after her husband passed, Camilla became a tour guide and a teacher of English but Roberto says her English wasn’t really that good so he was a little bit embarrassed.
Roberto hasn’t lived in Italy most of his life. He left at 18 years old and would return for holidays. Since his mom died almost two two years ago, Roberto has stopped going to Italy for Christmas.
Roberto says he owes a lot to his siblings for taking care of their mom for so many years. According to Roberto, his mother would often start telling a very lengthy story so it would take yet two more hours in order to leave her apartment.
Roberto and his mother both have/had a fantastic sense of humor and always find ways to be happy in life. She never really understood how Roberto could take care of himself and his businesses beginning at such a young age.
Camilla had a remarkable intuitive ability to warn her son not to get involved with certain businesses or with a particular person. She was often right. She even suggested that he marry a particular girlfriend years ago. He didn’t listen to his mother’s advice and he definitely has regrets.

If Roberto didn’t work in computers and technology, he says he’d love to be a comedian. Humor, laughter and happiness was a common theme for he and his mom. “It’s the biggest medicine to smile and laugh” Roberto reflects. “Whatever I do, I have to do it with a smile and with a joke in the middle.”
