Working different jobs to get by. At 22, he moved back to Naples and then to Corsica where he lived and worked for two years. After various voyages between Italy, England and Corsica, he moved to the south of France in 1994, working on a campsite for two years before entering as bag loader at Marseille Airport. In 2013, Maurizio moved to Bayern, Germany, where he lived and worked for five years before moving back to France, in 2018.
