HELLO MONACO PRESENTS :

WORDS OF WISDOM IN MONACO

BUILDING A LIBRARY OF HUMAN WISDOM

Monaco is a unique place in the world . But in the wider public ’ s mind , the names Monaco and Monte-Carlo remain synonymous with casinos , Formula One , luxury yachts , and offshore tax havens . But there is so much more to Monaco than these clichés . It ’ s the residents of the Principality who truly make Monaco unique : outstanding sportsmen , businessmen and women , film stars , artists , creative entrepreneurs , scientists , philanthropists , art collectors and more .

We come from different countries with different cultural heritage , religions and traditions . People who move to Monaco have a different personality and outlook on life . And we all manage to peacefully co-exist , literally side-by-side , in 2 square kilometres of territory . It could be argued that Monaco is the perfect prototype for countries of the future , where multi-cultural people live and create together .
Our project , ‘ HelloMonaco : Words of Wisdom in Monaco ’ ( WOW ), will introduce you to the residents of the Principality who have achieved much in life . We will also interview eminent guests of the Principality , visiting Monaco on tour , for a concert , or here on holiday . Each person ’ s experience in life is different , but they all have valuable lessons to share . These interviews will be an invaluable resource , vital to our mission of building a library of human wisdom . We won ’ t be asking the usual questions — we will be asking questions about life , love , wellbeing , success and more . And many answers could be life changing .
The framework of our video library is very simple : 1 question — 1 answer — 60 seconds . Our goal is to make the WOW library easy to access and browse , so we ’ ve condensed the answers into bite-sized videos . No matter where or how busy you are , it will be easy for you to get your daily dose of philosophy and perspective .
The heroes of this issue are all from the artistic environment . Matéo Mornar is a famous Croatian sculptor whose name is known all over the world . His works have taken a worthy place in the collections of art connoisseurs , including Prince Albert . And his latest grandiose projects , inhabited sculptures , are designed to change the cityscape . Delia Grace Noble , the organizer of colourful balls in Monte-Carlo , creates a fairy tale every time , immersing us in an atmosphere worthy of the presence of Princes and Princesses . There is the hugely entertaining Ezio Greggio , the Italian who conceived and implemented the concept of the Monte-Carlo Comedy Festival . Mariano Vivanco is a photographer , whose lens has been visited by top world celebrities , from the eccentric singer Lady Gaga to the iconic model Cindy Crawford . The heroes of his photo shoots look at us from the pages of the popular glossy magazines including Vogue , Harper ’ s Bazaar and Hello Monaco .
The most interesting interviews will be published in full at the YouTube channel Monaco Wisdom .
