**Bruno Luigi D'Ambrosio**, (born in 9 September 1948 in Salerno (Italy), is an italian writer and businessman, who lives in Florida

Life
----

His father was Pompeo D'Ambrosio, who took him to Caracas (Venezuela) at the age of 5, which is why he had dual Italian and Venezuelan nationality until he was 21 years old. Since then he is an Italian resident in the USA.

Bruno grew up studying between Caracas and Modena (Italy) where he did the Scientific High School, graduating later from the University of Genoa "summa cum laude" in "Economic Geography".

At the age of 22 he was in charge -by order of his father and his uncle Mino- of the youth section of the fans of the Venezuelan football team Deportivo Italia. (In 2001, the "International Federation of Soccer History and Statistics of FIFA" judged Deportivo Italia as the best Venezuelan soccer team of the 20th century)

After graduating he began to write when he was vice-director of the magazine "Incontri", a publication belonging to the Scalabrinian Fathers of the Catholic Church of Venezuela and written in Italian for the Italian-Venezuelan community.

He worked in the late 1970s at Saprolate-Tranarg as manager of contracts and was one of the main promotors -in a harsh way- of a single railway line in Venezuela from Maracaibo to Caracas and Ciudad Bolivar (against the tentative of corrupted latifundists of doing many railway lines -as happened years later with president Chavez- and that now are blocked facing lack of money and bankruptcy). Thanks to the "fight" of him and other managers, actually the only line created in Venezuela is the Caracas-Cua, that he promoted

After getting his MBA, Bruno Luigi D'Ambrosio founded his own company (named "Financiaria D'Ambrosio" or "Findam") in Caracas, specializing in financial advice to invest capital in various nations around the world.

Currently (2023) he lives in retirement in Boca Raton (Florida), where he continues to write and publish. He is also a promoter of the local Italian community, receiving the title of "Knight of Columbus".
