| was born in Naples, Italy, back in 1962 on the most famous day of the year in my country, the 15th of August, "Ferragosto" as people here call it. My surname, Esposito, is very common in my city, a surname traditionally emblematic. Whenever you will meet an Esposito, you can be certain you will be dealing with someone of Neapolitan lineage.

In those days, the early eighties, it was London the place to be. Cool and cosmopolitan, London was a melting pot where everything was happening in music, art, culture and fashion, a magnet for youngsters from all over Europe and the whole world. So my friend and Il got on a train, and after having crossed half of Europe, reached London where we spent, unfortunately, only a few months, a lot less then we had hoped. It was an intense and exciting time cut short by a sudden illness that struck my friend, forcing him and me, | couldn't see him go on his own, to return back home. Sadly he then found out he had a rare disease. Those few months | spent in England boost my English and the atmosphere | had savored there cast a spell on me. Once back in Naples | did several jobs. I even worked for a while as a bartender in a popular bar on the city's promenade meeting and enjoying the contact with all kinds of people, tourists and not.
