The Interview Showcase #41 - Exclusive Talk with Italian Witness/long time blogger
 |
|---|
Greeting Friends,
It's The Interview Showcase!!!. with your host ubongudofot...This is the 41st Edition of “The interview Showcase...." and my 11th show for 2023!
A lifestyle program that comes with many educational values. A weekly interview of top users/users in the blog concerning some trending topics on the Steemit platform. And tips that can help other Steemians to progress positively and help boost the Steem’s growth.
It will help you to get to know more about Steemians around the globe and even Steemit itself.
I take time to look at some of the most important topics in the blockchain and have a chat/call with top Steemians who have a greater idea about those topics.
They also share some tips that are able to help other users to understand the blockchain and make use of it in the correct way. Sometimes they seek some valuable suggestions here which can help them solve some of their challenges.
For this week, I decided to make a call to one popular user on the blog and also in Italy. He was a one-time Italy Country Representative - Steem Greeter.
He is actually one of the oldest steemian in this blog, he has introduced so many initiatives which is still in existence today. He is the founder and Admin of the @italygame Witness and Italy Community Admin. It will interest you to know that he introduced "The Steemit Awards" program, did you know that before now? I bet you didn't...😊, You can read it here. His name is @girolamomarotta..!!!
I bet Most of you are about to see him in person for the first time today😁
🔶Girolamomarotta: Hello to you and all friends of the Steem community! I’m an enthusiastic, curious person who loves embarking on new adventures, building projects, collaborating with stimulating and dynamic people..
🔶Girolamomarotta: An experience born almost by chance, now about 6 years ago. I started to find out about cryptocurrencies and browsing the web I found this platform. The idea that one could "earn" by writing posts on a social network built on blockchain seemed brilliant to me. Then I realized that it was actually much more and from there my long road here on Steemit began.
🔶Girolamomarotta: Definitely a great responsibility, because we witnesses are somehow the guardians of the platform. In my first experience in the old Italian community @steempostitalia I learned a lot from @bhuz who was our reference witness, one of the founders of the blockchain. There is a very important ethical aspect at the base and @italygame tries every day to carry forward these values of integrity, respect and fairness.
🔶Girolamomarotta:Absolutely no. In the group between 2017 and 2019 we had over 500 Italian users and we had a very organized structure. We trained them, followed them and made them grow. Then after the "schism" of 2020, that community essentially dissolved, some users went over to the “dark side”, many others left permanently and very few remained here. So we decided to start from scratch and it wasn't easy. Today the Italy community has about 6000 members, it is much more international than the previous one, unfortunately there are not many Italians, but in our Country the crypto trend has deflated a bit in recent times. I am sure, however, that in the future they will increase.
🔶Girolamomarotta: I divide my day between my work as a freelancer, the role of admin of the Italy community and my family. Mine is a hybrid job, there are days when I'm out and about all the time, others when I can instead dedicate myself to office work. However, I try to always be present and never miss anything, but I have to thank my collaborators who do a fantastic job, especially @mikitaly.
🔶Girolamomarotta: I like making Neapolitan pizzas, I live in southern Italy and here pizza is a religion. In recent times I have specialized, it’s a great passion, there are also posts that I have published in the past in which I show some of them. Then I love singing and in fact I was thinking of creating an account here too to publish some songs that I recorded. I'm a sports enthusiast, especially football, I follow the European leagues a lot, especially Serie A and I'm an AS Roma supporter. I also like to play Fantasy Football, a game I've been playing since I was a kid.
🔶Girolamomarotta: I hate dishonest and malicious people, the upstarts and profiteers. I am a very trusting person, ready to help and bend over backwards for everyone. But if I notice that someone is hurting me or people close to me, I turn into a tornado.
🔶Girolamomarotta:My advice is to try to bring innovation, to stimulate the platform, not to be afraid to experiment with new ideas. And above all not to stop at the first difficulties, because it’s not easy to emerge here, but if you do the right things you will be gratified and taken into consideration.
🔶Girolamomarotta:That was just a title that I accepted with great pleasure, but it didn't change anything for me or for the users of the Italian community. The support and help work was already done before and has continued to be done since. I can proudly say that we have always counted exclusively on our own strength, without ever asking or expecting anything from anyone, moving forward in a silent way and creating a harmonious and healthy environment. In any case, I thank the Steemit Team with whom there is and has always been an excellent relationship of mutual esteem and respect.
🔶Girolamomarotta: Quality is important, creativity, the ability to personalize the posts, to create trends. But I also like to help those who try hard to improve and slowly succeed. Then we all have our favorite users, our friendships and alliances. It must be remembered that this is a place where resources flow and therefore, in compliance with the rules, it is also normal that links are created above all between users with certain potential and experience.
🔶Girolamomarotta: Well, in addition to what has already been said before, I can add that I really like movies and TV series. I really like reading, even if in the past I did it more, today smartphones have distanced us a bit from that kind of habit. I also clearly like technology and innovations. And I like to learn about communication techniques and marketing strategies, which I consider fundamental in every area.
🔶Girolamomarotta:I like rock and progressive music. If I have to name a singer, I'll say Freddie Mercury, the greatest of all for me. About the song, Another Day by Dream Theater.

🔶Girolamomarotta:I like travel posts when they are original and well done, with unique photos and descriptions of particular experiences. I also like sports-themed posts and on this the absolute champion is my friend @frafiomatale who I define as a missed journalist.
🔶Girolamomarotta: Yes, it's true. During the pandemic period I was almost always at home and I was able to carve out the right space to write at least one post a day. But then I started going out more again and then it became a bit difficult to dedicate myself to both community witness management and writing my posts. So I figured if I had to write so much to fill the page, I better not. In fact, however, I'm a little sorry and I hope to be able to go back to doing it continuously in the future.
🔶Girolamomarotta: This is very difficult to say. When I got here, I saw Steem at his best. If you search my blog, I published a post where I show a screenshot where Steem is seen in 2016 as the third cryptocurrency overall after Bitcoin and Ethereum. Then many mistakes were made and many opportunities were lost. I hope we can find the wild card that can propel us back to the top.
🔶Girolamomarotta: Yes, I've done it in the past and I don't like sponsoring it, but the messages that have come to me in private I keep them close because they have given me the greatest joy and satisfaction here on Steemit. In these days we have a user from the Italian community who has a serious health problem. We will help her and, if necessary, we will involve as many people as possible.
🔶Girolamomarotta: One user I particularly appreciate is @randulakoralage, an intelligent, courageous, loyal girl who has worked so hard for her community and has really built something spectacular with @steem.sri-lanka . And she too is going through a difficult time due to the crisis in her country. I would like to read her interview, I don't know if she will accept but I hope so.
🔶Girolamomarotta: I'd like them to pay a little more attention to the Italian community, because there are good and constant users and the motivation to do well is higher if there is more support. And then absolutely not to miss @mikitaly as Steem Representative, because people like her are very rare.
🔶Girolamomarotta:We can talk about it, sure.

About Me
Thank you for another super episode of your show! Girolamo in addition to being an excellent person is a great friend, as well as a wonderful administrator and a point of reference for all of us in the Italian community, as well as @mikitaly, who it would be great if you could interview in one of the coming weeks!

@ubongudoft grazie mille per questa bellissima intervista! @girolamomarotta 6 un grande esempio e punto di riferimento per la comunità italiana di STEMMIT(@italygame)... apprezzo molto quello che fai per promuovere Steemit in Italia. Un saluto affettuoso da @kork75
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was nice to talk to Girolam...
Grazie mille davvero, un abbraccio!!
It's been almost more than a year that I got to know Girolamo. actually a young person can learn a lot from his ccharacteristic. Some time he I call him 'an idea factory' bcz he has tons of new ideas that generate a huge value to society.
It's a very interesting interview you have done with him. All the best♥️
Hi, thank you so much for your valuable comment. Ofcourse Girolamo is a great personality.
Thanks for your wishes...and see you soon on my show..!
Thank you sister, you're one of the best persons I ever met here 🙏🙏🤗🤗
Another very interesting interview buddy!
Thank you so much buddy..., I had to reach out to him.
Congrats @ubongudofot, it's really a great format!
It makes us get to know better the users that on Steemit we only know virtually through posts and comments.
Then Girolamo for us in the Italian community is our guide, if we have got this far, apart from great teamwork, it's because we have always had a great leader with clear ideas on the goals to be achieved. ;D
Thank you so much for appreciating the work, it is always nice to know about others. And the Interview showcase has been a great medium for such.
Girolamo has a lot of experience in the blog.
Hope to see you soon in my show..!
Thanks a lot for this interview, I want to congratulate you for your work and I hope you reach all the targets you have in your mind 👍👏💪
Warm greetings
Girolamo
WoW Girooo bellissima intervista!!
Ma non avevo dubbi perché so anzi sappiamo tutti benissimo che sei una bella persona, che hai messo le tue capacità personali e professionali a disposizione di tutti noi e soprattutto su di te si può sempre contare.
E grazie mille per avermi menzionato.. ;D
Però.. della pizza, della Roma e dello sport lo sapevamo.. ma pure cantante! Adesso lo sai che ti sei inguaiato proprio perché ci deve far sentire qualche canzone.. :D
Haha...Miky, tu mi puoi chiedere tutto, ti meriti l'impossibile per quello che fai. Sei una persona dal cuore e dalle capacità immense!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Avrai le tue canzoni, sperando che non ti pentirai di avermele chieste 😄 😁 😆 😅
Grandeee 🤣 non vedo l'ora.. 🧑🎤🥳🎉
You are most welcome 😊. Thank you so much for the great time we had. It was interesting to hear you speak the English language..not as a learner but as an expert.
I am Impressed by some of your great Initiatives and even more motivated..!
Grazie mille Signore.
