Riccardo is a co-founder at Tari Labs, a major contributor to the Tari protocol, but is most wellknown for being a member of Monero Core Team, the stewards of the Monero Project. With an academic background in informatics and logistics, Riccardo spent many years in software development, before starting a business in the import / export industry with his wife. Due to the success of that business, he had enough freedom to start tinkering with Bitcoin early in 2011. In 2012, he became involved in various cryptocurrency-related projects. In 2017 he launched GloBee, a successful multi-currency payment processor, and in 2018 began working on Tari, a decentralised assets protocol. Riccardo and his wife live along the Garden Route on the coast of South Africa, where he spends weekends pack rafting, hanging out with their dogs, flying drones, and playing with LEGO.

Paralelní Polis is a one-­of-­a-­kind nonprofit organization that brings together art, social sciences, and modern technologies. The ideas of liberty, independence, and innovative thinking, and development of society are the main underlying foundations the whole project is built upon. The project intends to remain state-free as it operates entirely without support from the government, and most of the funds come from voluntary contributions of our donors and partly from commercial activities such as running a unique co-­working space and the world’s first bitcoin-­only cafe.
