ABOUT ME

Hi everybody, I'm Alessandro Coppola. I'm from Milan, Italy.

I'm so crazy about cities that started to study them and to write about them (in order to have an excuse to travel). I'm a scholar and college professor in the field of urban studies currently working in Milan and Rome. I lived and worked in Milan, Rome, Paris, Baltimore and New York City.

PHILOSOPHY

Trusting the human kind, looking everywhere for the right, the intense and the beautiful.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing on your couch and having you surfing on mine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well. It's been great. There is no dark side in this experience, really.

兴趣

Culture in all its forms and directions: i love to read, listen, see and witness. I'm understandably very interested in cities, in their successes and failures. I'm interested in politics, everywhere and from any point of view. But my greatest interest is other human beings (no offense to animal and plants).

音乐、电影和书籍

Well, this would be too long of a list. I can tell you what I'm reading now (March, 13, 2013) - The Budenbrock, Thomas Mann plus a ton of books for work - the last thing I saw at the opera - Dog's heart, at the Scala a few minutes ago - the last movie I watched, "Anna Karenina" two days ago - and what I listened to today while working - Nina Simone.
