Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I seek a life when I can identify myself.
ABOUT ME
I was born on the shores of Lake Iseo and up to 18 years I lived in a small village called Erbanno, in the Camonica Valley (province of Brescia) with my other 4 brothers and of course with my parents. After which I went to study natural sciences at Pavia for 4 years, years full of thoughtlessness where I also spent 6 months in Paris, to study! After about 2 years I live in Milan to finish my studies.
The personal judgments I leave to you, who will have the honor and the burden to know me.
You need more information? Soon I will update my profile... ^_^
PHILOSOPHY
The truly free man is he who refuses an invitation to dinner without feeling the need to invent an excuse.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Let me tell a story:
My grandparent's house is situated on the edge of my hometown: Erbanno. Beside the house there is a small vault where hardly pass cars and beyond this vault you exit Erbanno and you enter in a dirt road with which, after about an hour walking through the fields cultivated with vineyards and olive trees, it leads to the top of the mountain, and it connect my village to other villages.
Alongside this vault there is a big wooden door, which leads into the courtyard of the old house of my father, were once there were a barn and a stable.
In times past: travelers, merchants and friars which they walked on this road knew that the big wooden door next to the door of the village was always open, day and night to allow those who arrived tired and maybe surprised by the dark to have a rest on top of the hay and heated by animals.
My ancestors didn't make money or other benefit from those enjoy the barn and certainly no travelers took advantage of it.
My family hand down from generation to generation this story, now, i try to put into practice! I leave my door open!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One that I remember, not a long time ago:
-Did bungee jumping
-Observe the elderly people dancing tango in the "square business" at midnight in Milan, without authorization. They are called "Clandestini"
But, there are many others. A multitude of extraordinary events that make up a life that is worthy to be called as such.
