CURRENT MISSION

I was interested in a PHD in linguistics

ABOUT ME

Let's start but then it's difficult to stop me! I am 40, Italian but world oriented. Deep interest in different cultures. since I was 14 I wish studying foreign languages/cultures. My dream was travelling and live abroad. After my degree I went to Germany where I remained for six years.It was a wonderful experience and a piece of my hearth is still there. Now I'm in Italy again, a part of my time in Perugia (a beautiful corner of our country where you can breath an international atmosphere) and the other part of the year betwenn Piemonte, Liguria and Lombardia. At present I live in Genoa.

PHILOSOPHY

"TO BE AND NOT TO HAVE": the discovery of something new and unexpected in everyday life, the chance of understanding some aspects of life that I haven't understood the day before, to be in harmony with other people.
