ABOUT ME

I studied Social Sciences...Anthropology, Philosophy, Sociology, Political Science and researched. I stopped, travelled for while. I worked as a professor.. Did some long travels. Volunteer work; ocasionally playing music around; worked in different things in different countries..

I like learning languages and also literature, history, music theory, economics, education, "spiritual" related things.

I play the guitar. I play some classical, rock, pop, latin, german, french, italian music, tango, brazilian sambas and bossas.

I've been trying to learn some music production in order to record and develop some musical ideas I archived for many years.

PHILOSOPHY

"Gathering useless things guarantees the sovereignity of the Being"

"...che piú si perdeva in quartieri sconosciuti di città lontane, piú capiva le altre città che aveva attraversato per giungere fin là, e ripercorreva le
tappe dei suoi viaggi, e imparava a conoscere il porto da cui era salpato, e i luoghi familiari della sua giovinezza, e i dintorni di casa..." (Calvino)
