Angelo Schiavo, general manager of Fidia Farmaceutici, is originally from Cilento: he is considered the Marchionne of the sector
His message to the young people of the area: never give up on your dreams.
“Never give up on your dreams. Commitment, sacrifice, honesty and determination can lead to great results". It is the message that Slave Angel originally from Wall of Lucania spear to the young Cilento. Today the general manager Italy of Fidia Pharmaceuticals is considered the Marchionne of the pharmaceutical sector but does not forget its origins, the sacrifices made to achieve personal and professional success, 
always carrying with him the right amount of humility. He left Vallo as a young university student, then his first steps in the pharmaceutical sector.
“I started – he says – from the bottom line, like scientific informant, and I'm proud of it, everything I've managed to conquer I owe solely to my commitment and my professionalism, ”. A rigorous family upbringing, even before school, marked his rules, which were then transferred to each company that was entrusted to him, always seen in terms of a sense of belonging, as a shirt, as a "creed", in an observance to the limit obsessive about the principles of respect and legality, without compromises or low profile shortcuts. For this reason, he tells young Cilento people to commit themselves and not wait for politics to "settle them". In a truthful and pertinent way, his career path is compared to that of the late Sergio Marchionne.
The story of the first, who died recently and prematurely, is well known to the general public, being linked to the main Italian car company, that of Angelo Schiavo is obviously known only to those who live in the world of drugs.
“Both champions of Italian value – writes the magazine Planet Medicine & Health which dedicated the cover of its latest issue to Schiavo – and staunch defenders of the country's profound values, in an economic-financial context that has led to unprecedented levels of unemployment Marchionne and Schiavo have been able to create jobs, often going against the trend to the climate of general contraction that characterized the crisis of the second twenty years of this century".
“I have always liked challenges – Schiavo reiterates – and metaphorically putting back on the youthful uniform of a carabinieri officer, which I wore in truly fiery years, many times I considered myself a soldier lent to the pharmaceutical sector, who, like all human activity needs order, rules and moral values”. An attitude that is incompatible with the "living rooms" of politics and the economy, typical of those who look far ahead, always ready to put their face in, heedless of malicious criticism, always in the front row to solve problems.
"Determination, competence, professionalism are fundamental basic characteristics - Schiavo reiterates - but it is the attachment "to the shirt" that can make the difference, and here other youthful memories come back, of when I was a football referee (with excellent hopes: they called me "the Michelotti of the South..." then life took me elsewhere with the awareness that my land remains an indissoluble value
