\"\"“Learn to like yourself.<\/em>
\nWhat you think of yourself<\/em>
\nis much more important<\/em>
\nthan what others think of you<\/em> ”
\nLucius Annaeus Seneca.[2<\/a>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

I was born in Rome in the 60s, where I attended the school up to the 5th gymnasium.<\/p>\n

In 1977 I moved to\u00a0Venice (Italy), where in 1980 I obtained the A-Level in Classical Study.<\/p>\n

In 1982 I started working in the IT field, as it is typical of the 1980s in a small start-up in a garage in Rome.<\/p>\n

Job career<\/h2>\n

Having started as a programmer, developing and adapting accounting and logistics programs for computers, my career in Italy in 12 years has led me to carry out the functions of Program Manager.<\/p>\n

In 1995 I moved to Germany, to Aachen<\/a> in North Rhine \/ Westphalia (NRW), where in 1996 I started my studies at the faculty of computer science (Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics) at the polytechnic (RWTH Aachen<\/a>), graduating in 2005.<\/p>\n

During my studies I worked, always in the IT field, starting my career almost from scratch and reaching the position of Project Manager (Program Manager) again.<\/p>\n

During my career in Germany I have achieved, among other things, several certifications in Project Management and Program Management, such as PMP \u00a9, PgMP \u00a9, PRINCE2 \u00a9 Practitioner, IPMA \u00a9 Level A.<\/p>\n

I’m twice divorced and have three children, as well as many hobbies and interests.<\/p>\n

In 2020 I purchased two ornamental titles: Laird o’Chaol Gleann and Lord of the Manor of Hougun.[4<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n

Best Regards
\nRoberto S. Greco
\nLord of the Manor of Hougun<\/em>\u00a0\ud83d\ude09 and Laird o’Chaol Gleann \ud83e\udd23<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n[<\/a>2]<\/sup> Own translation from the latin original by Lucius Annaeus Seneca in L. Annaei Senecae Opera quae supersunt<\/em> of Fridericus Haase, pag. 66 ([haase1872<\/a>, Page 66 \u00a7 11]).
\n“… multo autem ad rem magis pertinet, qualis tibi videaris quam aliis. Conciliari nisi turpi ratione amor turpium non potest.<\/em>“.
\n[<\/a>3]<\/sup> The sale of British noble titles is prohibited by the Honors Act (Prevention of Abuses) of 1925. However, what I bought is a so called Manorial Lordship, which is not an aristocratic title, but a semi-extinct form of landed property. Lordship in this sense is synonymous with property. Therefore it cannot be indicated on a passport and does not give the right to a coat of arms in the sense of heraldry.
\nThe designation of Laird in Scotland or Lord in England is based on an inheritable property that has an explicit link to physical land. The stock cannot be bought and sold without selling the physical land. The title also does not entitle the owner to sit in the House of Lords, as it is not a noble title, but rather a courtesy title which means landowner with no other rights assigned. The manor’s title Lord is likewise a feudal title and is legally eligible for sale. [dobson2016<\/a>], [baronage2020<\/a>, Page 12].
