Descrição
Hello! I am Matteo from Abruzzo, Italy.
I am currently based in Vienna, where I have been working as Italian-teaching assistant at school. I am in fact a language enthusiast: I also speak English and German fluently and I am currently learning Serbo-Croatian.

Other than that, I am passionate about theatre, literature, cinema, dance… I really like to explore the different ways we express ourselves by sharing stories or emotions, learning through them to build communities based on equality, solidarity, and respect for the environment in which we live.

I’ve spent the last years mostly moving from one city to another (between Italy, Germany and Austria); although it has been exciting and I'm still curious to travel around, my dream is to settle down one day in the countryside, restore the old family farmhouse in which I grew up when i was a child and be part of a more or less self-sufficient community.
In order to do that you need of course also practical skills and to get your hands dirty :) That’s why I’m interested in learning more about permaculture, and ways to live more in touch with nature and its rhythms. I believe in the value of nurturing, taking care of each other, and the need to protect human and animal rights: and most importantly, to do this while smiling, dancing, and learning.

I am full of admiration for the ones who are growing some of their own food, managing a farm or even just taking care of a small garden.
I would love to learn from them while helping out and happily giving back in form of conversations (maybe exchanging language knowledge), cooking vegan/vegetarian meals, and really good book recommendations!

Quais são suas habilidades?
I am willing to work in any fields and I am not scared of physical work.
I would describe myself as curious, adaptable, joyful and patient.

I have a real team spirit and i love to work in group but at the same time enjoy the company of my self and can accomplish tasks on my own.

I have decent experience in teaching (at school) and get along well with kids (volounteering) :)

I have also worked in tourism/ospitality and at art events, so I am not afraid of working during busy or stressful periods - although, of course, I would prefer to avoid them :)

Here I am finally sharing my wonderful experience at Franz's. It was so rich and exciting that I’m finding it difficult to decide where to start :)
I spent about a month with Franz (from September 15 to October 15 or so), during which time I harvested hazelnuts, walnuts, and apples—which we then turned into apple juice—sorted potatoes for the… read more winter, and harvested vegetables before the arrival of autumn. Franz was always clear and kind in explaining the work, helping me, and encouraging me whenever I needed it. While I was at the farm, I also had the chance to meet and share good times with Franz’s family: his wonderful, kind parents, his siblings, and his nieces and nephews.

Alongside these field activities, I also had the privilege of assisting and making my own small contribution to advancing his artistic journey. While I was there, I was also able to help Franz and other wonderful local artists bringing their own artistic installation to live. Witnessing their creative process was wonderful. In the evenings, we all cooked and chatted in a very relaxed, respectful and inspiring atmosphere. Enjoying the generosity with which everyone shared not only their project but also perosnal stories, anecdotes, and emotions was magnificent. After dinner, there was also the chance to enjoy his splendid floating sauna under the stars.

In my "free time", besides the beauty of being able to relax outdoors among small and large works of art, St. Florian is perfect for lovely walks and a visit to the magnificent abbey, where there are also organ concerts on Sunday mornings.
St.Florian also has excellent bus connections to the city of Linz, and Franz will surely be able to point you toward the most interesting spots and venues there. ( I can already recommend my favorite café (the Florentine) and a wonderful space run by young artists (Raumschiff).
During my trips to the city I felt such good vibes that, when I received through a series of coincidences a 9-month job offer in Linz, I accepted it!

Franz and I still are in touch and met again. I can't wait to visit him for the opening of the "Flora pondtemorary" exhibitions!

Spending a month immersed in the daily life and practices of Franz and his crew was very inspiring and encouraging. It shows that the idea of living a life based on equality, care, and harmony with our surroundings is not a naive dream, but something real and incredibly exciting.
What I learned during that time, I have carried with me these past few months, and I will continue to carry it with me wherever I go, striving to express it—even if only in the smallest way—in everything I do in the future.
