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 .
Today , in line with our tradition , we are introducing you to famous Monaco residents , our edition ’ s special guests .
The talented Brazilian racing car driver Lucas di Grassi was first interviewed by Hello Monaco magazine in 2018 . Since this time , his life has indeed changed dramatically . Lucas has joined the Monegasque ROKiT Venturi Racing Formula-E team and is now a happy father . Nowaways , the racing ace is actively promoting an environmental agenda at the international level .
Another special guest of our WOW section is Matteo Trentin , a professional racer too , this time , that of a bicycle . A cycling champion , an accomplished father and a reliable teammate , in 2015 Matteo had also completed his degree in sports sciences . The sportsman is invariably full of new ideas helping him pursue his life ’ s projects in Monaco . That ’ s something we discussed in our spring edition .
And last but not least , our magazine was greatly honoured by an interview with the Queen of Egypt , Fadila Farouk . Her Majesty totally charmed us with her aristocratic presence , openness and generosity . This beautiful woman remains very dynamic , keeping up with modern times . Among other things , we were amazed to learn that Fadila has her Instagram account , sharing posts on Egypt ’ s heritage , rightly considered the cradle of our civilization .
