Hi I'm Alexander Buratti co-owner of Mer-Tails with Mermaid Kassandra ... Can't wait to get to know about the wonderful world of the MerNetwork ...I believe in Mermaids since I was little, everyone in my family knows my passion for the sea. I Was raised in Campo di Mare, near the city of Rome Italy and I had the Sea just across the street in front of my house. I love my family they always supported me in everything I do. My parents knew my passion for Sea and my interest in fish, and at the age of 8/9 years old they, with my grandparents, bought me 2 beautiful aquariums filled with many kinds of beautiful fish. I was filled with joy and started to draw my fish in my drawing book, learning things about them more and more every day. We had a lot of other animals at home and loved each one of them, but fish and the passion for the Sea and it's creatures were like connected to me some way. Inside of me I had the wish to be part of their world and that wish, passing the years grew and never stopped growing. I'm a very polite and gentile person, but as many people I had bad moment's in my life that put obstacles and walls that I had to pull down my self helping me and the people I love!. But some days when things weren't that well, I just wanted to disappear in the Ocean and be free in the water, flowing as foam through the waves. In reality I had to bring on my life in the most wonderful way that for me was possible, to make my life wonderful and to make it wonderful for the people I love. Passing the years my life had many bad moments and medical problems, but I can say that I had many wonderful moments that with their power deleted the bad moments of my life and made me rise as the Sun on a calm Sea in a perfect day of Summer! Reached the age of 17/18 I discovered Mermaid Tails on Internet and I got to know that there was a world of people, that had the same feelings and passion in their hearts, as I had! I was on top of the Moon in that moment and I told my family all about It, they were very excited to see me so happy, and from that moment I knew that my dream would have come to life soon. When I was little, my mother brought me to live, for some years in the U.S.A , and today in 2016 she still lives there, in Chicago IL. But she comes to Italy every Summer. I go often the U.S.A, every time that for me is possible. So returning to what I was saying, writing about the time I was 17/18 years old. My Mom told me that she could buy a Mermaid tail custome made for Me, but I told her that I was going to create my self my own tail. I started by using every suggestion that was passing in my mind at that moment and every tip I was learning in the Art Academy High School of Rome that I was in. In the years after I had fun with my Mermaid tails and I got to know Kassandra Mauren, an Italian girl, that like me was loving the Mere-World. After one year of friendship I decided to bring her dream to reality. Because she didn't have a Mermaid tail ever in her life, but she grew up with my same dream. I decided to make a Mermaid tail for her birthday, and as a surprise because we didn't know each other in real life, but only on skype, I decided with my Father to cross Italy by car to bring her present to her and to meet her for the first time for real. She didn't know anything and she was amassed and so happy by the surprise, that we were crying of joy! Now in 2016 we, together have what we always dreamed, we are Tail Makers and co-owners of Mer-Tail ....We love to make a dream become reality.
