Curiosita - an insatiably curious approach to life and an unrelenting quest for continuous learning
Dimonstrazione - a commitment to test knowledge through experience, persistence and a willingness to learn from mistakes
Sensazione- the continual refinement of the senses as the means to enliven experience
Sfumato (literally "going up in smoke") - a willingness to embrace ambiguity, paradox and uncertainty
Arte/Scienza - - the development of balance between science and art, logic and imagination. Whole-brain thinking
Corporalita - the cultivation of grace, ambidexterity, fitness and poise

Neat perspective on KM.
