Olli Cuccioletti is the maskotte of Aura. He is master of intuition in this life. He was found at three weeks old alone on the street abandoned and was adopted by Gigona (and Elena). He is a mix of a Maremmano and someone else.

Born in Reggio Calabria in 1985, Giuseppe finishes his studies in accounting and begins a career in telecommunications and logistics, moving to Milan for a few years.

He is collaborating with some web project about local realities.
He knows Elena Franzini, president of Aura, and begins a collaboration with her, becoming member and secretary of her association.
