My name is Manuela Cascio and I come from Taranto (Italy). In december 2006 I took my degree in Economics at University of Bari. From May 2007 to April 2011 I worked as a bank employee in my hometown. Both at university and during my working path, I've always been interested in economical and financial aspects of the development of local areas. So I'm taking this year long period to deepen those themes and learn more about Cooperation.
