Simone Ippolito (Bring Community Power & Dorset Wine Festival): Leaving everything on the court
When I came up with the concept for Success on the South Coast, Simone Ippolito was the first name on my wishlist of guests.
I first came across his name when I read an article in the local paper about the inaugural meeting of ‘Bring Community Power’. I was immediately intrigued by this ‘Italian guy’ who was spearheading a group driving positive change in Bournemouth.
After digging deeper, I discovered Simone is an ex-pro basketball player and also the man behind numerous projects, including the ‘Dorset Wine Festival’.
Simone speaks from the heart so grab a glass of wine (preferably a good Italian red), sit back and enjoy!
Salute!
