The author

From the great European shipyards to the shores of the Lake Ceresio, Umberto Pupillo He recounts his personal and professional journey with authenticity, offering a testimony of responsibility, sacrifice, and love for family. Having grown up in the world of shipbuilding—including shipyards, cruise ships, and long international travel—he slowly built his professional identity, learning the value of responsibility, sacrifice, and credibility.

The book

«"Between the Sea and the Lake" (BookSprint Edizioni) is the story of a life lived between departures and returns, storms and arrivals, where the sea becomes a symbol of work and freedom, while the lake represents the place of love and maturity. Alongside the professional dimension, the private one unfolds: the meeting with Francesca, the marriage, the birth of children, and the difficult balance between career and love. Between storms in the Mediterranean, experiences in the Norwegian fjords, and major naval projects, the book paints a candid portrait of a life marked by work but guided by love for family. A true story that invites us to reflect on the value of choices, time, and the people who accompany us along our journey.

«There are books born to tell a story, and books born to preserve a life. "Between the Sea and the Lake" undoubtedly belongs to the latter category. It is the authentic story of a man who lived his time with dignity, sacrifice, and a sense of duty.“

— Vito Pacelli, from the preface
