Hello!
My name is Matteo de Castello
I'm the founder of The School of Curiosity. I'm a naturally curious soul who turned my childhood love of people and stories into a varied career.
From studying law to attending La Scuola dello Stabile di Genova drama school, I've always followed my passions. I spent a transformative decade in London, working in film and TV production and learning the ropes at Ridley Scott's company.
In sunny Barcelona, I've added another role: certified coach, trained to support people's mental well-being and improve communication in the industry. It was the missing piece.
I've made it my goal to help people look after their wellbeing, learn more about themselves, and grow as people and professionals.
A passionate meditator for over a decade and explorer of different schools and techniques, I've found balance and clarity in the practice.
Seeing the power of curiosity in action, I founded the School of Curiosity. It's more than a project to me; it's a mission to harness the transformative power of curiosity. Welcome to the journey!
