CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I was born in Italy in 1948. I have been a math and physics teacher and then principal of a secundary school. I've been very involved in this job.
I believed, during the '60s-'70s in changing our society in an equal and better one. We, as movement, historically failed, but I still believe we can get society better through school, education and sharing. I, often, idealize people, sometimes this tendency enrich me with surprising encounters.

PHILOSOPHY

My mother, Lucia, taught me to be optimistic and to look for the best in people

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

In 1968 I was twenty years old and I was an idealistic student of physics in Pavia, Italy. I was involved in the struggle to change politics, customs and society in Italy.

I live since 42 years with my first and only wife, Marilia, and we still have a lot to share!

From September 2013 to December 2014 I had a long trip along the world USA Kiritmati, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, Bosnia, Croatia, Sweden, Russia, Bali and of course Italy...Venice, Ischia, Sicily,

教，学，和分享

I can share my experience in the Italian educational system and my passion for historical and scientific problems.
I can show how to prepare an handmade bottle of white sparkling wine with champenoise method.
I can make good "sour" coktails.
I am open and curious to learn from people's passions.
