Maurizio Benazzo, a visionary individual, embarked on a remarkable journey, leaving the shores of Italy in 1984 to set foot in the United States. He did so aboard the "Felice Manin", a 98-year-old Lateen sailboat, a testament to his sense of adventure and willingness to take the road less traveled.
As he settled into his new surroundings, Benazzo pursued a multifaceted career, effortlessly transitioning between acting, modeling, and filmmaking. However, it wasn't until 2001, during a visit to India, that he stumbled upon a profound discovery that would forever alter the trajectory of his life.
While shooting the acclaimed documentary "Short Cut to Nirvana", Benazzo had the privilege of encountering the seminal work "I Am That", penned by the revered Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. This encounter would satiate his thirst for knowledge, igniting a deeper understanding of the mysteries of existence and the human experience.
