I currently live in Hamburg, Germany, working for my PhD in Particle Physics.
I was born and raised in Florence, Italy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Physics is my field of study, I could talk about it for hours!
My mother language is Italian and I can help those who are interested in learning it.
I can speak English quite fluently too.

I've tried to learn the basics of German by myself, and I'd like to learn and practice that language in the future.
