According to the dictionary, the word talent means, "a special natural ability of a superior capacity or a marked innate aptitude for achievement or success".

Ancient Greek asserted that this capability is one of those hidden qualities that you never really know you have until you suddenly discover it. If you do not try, you will never find out. The only way to know what gift you have is to try them all.

For instance, when I was a teenager, I had an internship with the Air Force Academy in Naples in order to become a fighter pilot. I love airplanes, but my personality don't match military-lifestyle.

Although I had few exciting flight hours piloting a civil airplane, I realized that such professional figure would never match my future life.

At about the same time, I painted several works and entered them in a competition. To my astonishment, I won first price, which paid a cash award, and 200 serigraphs of these works were printed. I also got my picture in the local newspaper.

From this, I said to myself that drawing would come fairly easy to me. Once I discovered my capability, I had to meet two conditions.

First, I had to choose where to pursue a degree in higher education concerning art subjects. Second, I had to plan how to have a successful creative career as a professional digital artist.

After I graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts and the European Institute of Design with two majors in Digital and Virtual Design, I became more and more conscious that Computer Graphics is what I was absolutely looking for.

In order to focus on it, I had to ask myself two simple questions. First, do you like doing it? Second, are you good at doing it?

One answer, one sentence: I've got a fever and the only prescription is more Computer Generated Imagery.

Even though anybody can use a software to make something that looks like a group of geometrical objects, it takes art to make numerous thoughts look like a reality. I have got skills and know-how to achieve that goal. So far I went to the United States where CGI matter has developed in several and incredible ways. It gave me more strenght to become an industrial professional.

My name is tony and I live in rome where I'm improving my knowledge about User Interface Design related to Mobile and Web Development enviroments.

In the first century BC, a slave named Spartacus threatened the might of Rome. Spartacus (c. 109 BC-71 BC) was the leader (or possibly one of several leaders) of the massive slave uprising known as the Third Servile War.

Under his leadership, a tiny band of rebel gladiators grew into a huge revolutionary army, numbering about 100,000.

Despite his well-deserved fame as a great revolutionary leader and one of the most outstanding generals of antiquity, not much is known about Spartacus the man. It is always the victors who write history and the voice of the slaves throughout the centuries can be heard only through the accounts of the oppressors.

However, ancient sources claim Spartacus was probably a native of Thrace. At that time Thracians used to call their sons Sparatokos (inspired by their first King Sparatokos I). Based upon this theory, Spartacus name was given to him at the ludus. As he was a Thracian it made sense to the romans.

There were other leaders of the revolt whose names have come down to us: Crixus, Castus, Gannicus and Oenomaus – gladiators from Gaul and Germania.

Their goal was not to destroy their former captors. They aimed to leave Italy, either returning to their homelands, or by making a new life in a land of their own.

However they were never able to achieve the freedom they'd fought and struggled for, as Rome was finally able to crush the revolt.

Plutarch writes:
And seizing upon a defensible place, they chose three captains, of whom Spartacus was chief, a Thracian of one of the nomad tribes, and a man not only of high spirit and valiant, but in understanding, also, and in gentleness superior to his condition, and more of a Grecian than the people of his country usually are

This little detail reveals something far more important than weapons and equipment: a growing confidence, the rejection not only of the servile state but also of the servile mentality

And yet, two thousand years later, Spartacus remains a figure of courage and inspiration.

While people from the first Information-Technology Revolution consider themselves pioneers as they were putting their creativity out there with their commodor 64,

I see myself, like many other Millennials, as follower living the next technology revolutions

On one hand internet born and raised back, in the late 80/90s, which has been followed by the Digital Transformation Era (Handset & Desktop Apps), in the beginning of the 21st century (when computer generated imagery was not taken seriously yet, specially in countries like Italy)

On the other hand, Smart Things (IOT) spreading all over the world as I'm writing ( in case you're curious I recommend you reading - Digital Innovation)

Many actual life experience stories and or actual meetings you might perform are interwoven into the metaphors of Gladiatorial ages and battles in general.

After all, we can consider ourself warriors or gladiators in our chosen fields of endeavor

Reason why I got the i Spartakos meaning: I am Spartacus. It has come to mean that moment of making a stand, no matter what conventional job position i've been proposed to or sacrifices I had to face. Graphics Design was my mission in the first place.
Thus, based upon Spartacus legend, I've got inspired and I conceived and created my own trademark & logotype design.
