pietradelmundo = pietra del mundo

PIETRA:
Italian feminine form of PETER:
Derived from the Greek Πετρος (Petros) meaning “stone“. This is a translation used in most versions of the New Testament of the name Cephas, meaning “stone” in Aramaic, which was given to the apostle Simon by Jesus (compare Matthew 16:18 and John 1:42).

MUNDO: (Spanish)
[moon’-do] noun

1. World, the collective idea of all bodies whatever; terrestrial sphere, globe. (m)
2. (coll.) Great multitude, great quantity. (m)
3. The manners of men; worldly desires and practices. (Metaphorical) (m)
pietradelmundo means “Pieter of the World” but also describing other qualities that I am aiming to bring to the world. The feminine qualities of care and love (pietra instead of pietro), the stone quality of keeping things real and grounded. The global quality of considering myself as a world citizen, working on the world for the world.
