Eugenio lives happily trapped between three distinctly different habitats: the classrooms of a Venetian high school, the seabeds and digital worlds. The technology, on the other hand, entered the house long before any microscope: an irreducible father NES player taught him that behind every videogame there is an interesting world... and behind every computer there is almost certainly a problem to solve.

From this not quite reassuring premise was born his habit to understand how a work PC, how to fix it and, when needed, how to convince him to cooperate. With three historical friends he founded the KotA: first only one Discord channel, then — from 2019 — also a magazine. In the group it became what “he always knows where to put his hands”, role that was assigned to him without too many formal votes.

The friendship with Stain from 1994, when the three future KotA spent more time in front of screens and cables than outdoors. To complete the family tradition there is a small home myth: his father, along with a friend, would have actually platinated Super Mario Bros on NES. It's not a museum material, but it's still in the house.

Computer passion exploded thanks to a Pentium II that now asked for mercy. Eugenio learned how to fix Windows when he was doing the whims and disassemble hardware with the typical enthusiasm of those who discover only after the screws were remitted, short circuits included.

During the university he moved from digital to sea: he graduated in marine biology, specialized in endocrinology and anesthesia of fish and worked for a period in research in Greece. In the meantime, he did not give up “technical” hobbies: he entered the Civil Protection to deal with emergency radiocommunications, took the F.I.A.M license. to fly aeromodels and radio controlled helicopters and jumped into the diving.

The original trio has dispersed for almost twenty years, but in 2017 they found themselves with PC worthy of this name and with the same desire to make of a time. With the support of the ever-present War/Nigio, the KotA project has taken shape. Eugenio took care of the community, while the group expanded and became increasingly cared for. He was born in 2019 KotaWorld.

The rest does not need drama or twists of scene: it simply continues to grow, along with those who are part of it.
