Consequently, his other areas of expertise are those pertaining to international development cooperation, international economic law and social enterprises of the so-called 'Third Sector' in their European and international aspect.
After becoming an attorney in Spain, the professional opportunity to establish relationship with Latin America and the countries of the Caribbean area was open to Maurizio, who made it his own focus for a large part of his career, continuing nowadays, which also led him to gain decades of experience in the markets of Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Costa Rica and Cuba so much so that he has also broadened his professional skills in the field of strategic investment planning and the so-called 'Business & Culture' as well as in the field of comparative law (both civil and commercial).
His experience in the above-mentioned field also earned him the assignment of several lectures at the University of Padua, Faculty of Political Science, as part of the Advanced Training Course in "Latin American and Caribbean Studies" (2015 and 2016 editions), as well as his recent appointment (2022) as Director of the "International Centre for the Study of Peace and Fraternity among Peoples", established at the Humanitarian Association "Semi di Pace" - ODV, Tarquinia (VT) and Rome (RM) offices. Previously, he also held teaching positions at other Italian universities, both as a lecturer in "commercial law" (at the University of Rome "La Sapienza", Faculty of Law, with Prof. Francesco Vassalli, from 2002 to 2012) and as a contract professor of "private law" (at the E-Campus Telematic University, from 2012 to 2013, Novedrate).
