It\u2019s a job which requires professionalism and relevant training but also flexibility, team work skills and a certain dynamism, and we also have to keep up-to-date on the relevant laws. I knew it was the job for me right away, on the basis of my training. I graduated in law from Naples\u2019s Federico II University and trained as a lawyer at the Naples law courts and that\u2019s where my interest in public contract law began. <br>I wanted to specialise in this field and when this opportunity presented itself I grabbed it right away.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chiara Bianchi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lake of Como<br>Start of employment: 2021<br>Ticket office staff member<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/immagine_verticale_2-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/immagine_verticale_2-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/immagine_verticale_2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/immagine_verticale_2-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/immagine_verticale_2-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/immagine_verticale_2-750x938.jpg 750w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/immagine_verticale_2-1140x1425.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/immagine_verticale_2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve been working at Navigazione Laghi since November 2021. I was born and grew up in Varenna (the boat stop I work at now) but had to move out of the region for five years. When I felt the need to come back I got this job. It came at exactly the right moment and, luckily, just two months later there was a competitive exam for a permanent transport operator. Ours is an office on the lake. There\u2019s nothing more wonderful than the peace in the morning and the colours at sunset.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fabio Tibiletti<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lake of Garda<br>Start of employment: 1990<br>Ship&#8217;s captain<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/FabioTibiletti-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/FabioTibiletti-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/FabioTibiletti-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/FabioTibiletti-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/FabioTibiletti-750x938.png 750w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/FabioTibiletti-1140x1425.png 1140w, https:\/\/magazine.navigazionelaghi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/FabioTibiletti.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018My Navigazione Laghi story began in 1990 as a mooring assistant in Maderno, a job I did until February 1992 when I was hired as a deck hand. <br>In 1994 I passed the in-house exams and became ship\u2019s captain and I\u2019ve been captaining boats since 2000 now, making me Lake Garda\u2019s longest serving.
