I'm an average Italian guy with the blessing and the curse of being interested in way too many things. The most blatant example of this is having a degree in Biology and working both as a freelance Boom Operator and a Waiter in a restaurant.

I'm very, very, talkative and I love listening to people that really mean what they say, especially when it's not just small talking but delving in more meaningful and deep topics.

I adapt myself to different situations very easily, so it's hard for me to find a place where I don't fit in. Of course, there are setting in which I'd prefer not to be sometimes, but if the situation calls for it I can make it through without much effort.

Even though I'm kind of a smartass with a very witty sense of humor, I'm very respectful of other people, especially when I don't know them that well. But if I think that the person in front of me it's a good sport about it and doesn't get easily offended I'm gonna be bantering back and forth all day long.

I thrive in meeting new people. Everytime I've had the chance to be around lots of strangers (like during the two Youth in Action projects I've been part of, in Austria and Romania) I've always felt incredibly lucky and comfortable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and visit new places, and couchsurfing gives me the chance to do that and see those places through the eyes of someone that truly knows them. Most important of all, though, I get to meet people I've never met.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every year with an association we're part of we organize a Short Film Festival called the Dieciminuti Film Festival, which brings movie makers and actors from all over the world in our tiny country city.

Oh, and I've seen an halo around the Moon over a sea of fog while driving up a mountain, and it was epic.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the italian language and our gestures, the importance of sound in cinema, how to bring 3 plates at once and lots of other useless stuff.

I want to learn everything you can teach me.

I want to share my experiences and my knowledge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to have conversation about everything. No, really, everything. I think that if you're really passionate about something it automatically becomes interesting for me, so you can have the weirdest hobbies in the world and I will be genuinely interested in them.

I'm not a good cook but I always feel the need to help out in housekeeping everytime I'm sleeping over at someone else's house, be it washing dishes or preparing the table or whatever else is needed.

Oh, and I'm pretty good with technology, so if you need some help with your wifi or laptop or something, I'd love to help.
