About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take a handful of letters, add a pinch of photography, mix all with tango and sprinkle sugar on! And.. open arms to change :)

ABOUT ME

Not enough time to write all (always the same poor excuses).
I love my adventure in this strange ball that is the world. I don't know what it is going to happen and it s not bad.

PHILOSOPHY

No certainty.
Lot of mistakes.
Life is probably good also when I don't feel it.
Other people are probably the best way to know who I am.

"Ed eccoci qui.. come quattro bischeri..
però con quest'amicizia che dura tanto tempo, anche dopo morti e malgrado tutte le differenze che ci sono fra di noi [...]
Tutti uniti da certe regole che non ci siamo mai detti:
il diritto di sfotterci reciprocamente..
la voglia di vivere.. di divertirsi..
e il gusto difficile di non prendersi mai sul serio.
Ugo Tognazzi (il conte Mascetti)-"Amici Miei atto II"

"Tu saresti capace di piantare tutto e di ricominciare la vita daccapo? Di scegliere una cosa, una cosa sola e di essere fedele a quella, riuscire a farla diventare la ragione della tua vita, una cosa che raccolga tutto, che diventi tutto proprio perché è la tua fedeltà che te la fa diventare infinita? Ne saresti capace?"
"8 e 1/2" - Fellini

"..photographier c’est retenir son souffle quand toutes nos facultés convergent pour capter la réalité fuyante; c’est alors que la saisie d’une image est une grande joie physique et intellectuelle.

Photographier, c’est dans un même instant et en une fraction de seconde reconnaître un fait et l’organisation rigoureuse de formes perçues visuellement qui expriment et signifient ce fait.

C’est mettre sur la même ligne de mire la tête, l’œil et le cœur. C’est une façon de vivre."
Henry Cartier-Bresson

"Tutto può accadere, tutto è possibile e verosimile.
Il tempo e lo spazio non esistono.
Su una base insignificante di realtà, l'immaginazione fila e tesse nuovi disegni"

"I hope I never get so old I get religious"

"La musica aiuta a non sentire dentro il silenzio che c'è fuori"
Johann Sebastian bach

"Coloro che danzavano erano considerati folli da quelli che non riuscivano a sentire la musica"

"Tutti gli strumenti musicali sono facili da suonare.
Basta pigiare il tasto giusto al momento giusto e lo strumento suonerà da solo."
Johann Sebastian bach

"All I wanted was to sing to God. He gave me that longing... and then made me mute..
Why? Tell me that. If He didn't want me to praise him with music, why implant the desire? Like a lust in my body! And then deny me the talent?
[..]
From now on we are enemies, You and I. Because You choose for Your instrument a boastful, lustful, smutty, infantile boy and give me for reward only the ability to recognize the incarnation. Because You are unjust, unfair, unkind, I will block You, I swear it. I will hinder and harm Your creature on earth as far as I am able."
[..]
"I will speak for you, Father. I speak for all mediocrities in the world. I am their champion. I am their patron saint."
[..]
"Mediocrities everywhere... I absolve you.. I absolve you.. I absolve you all.."
Salieri - "Amadeus" - Milos Forman

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can tell you the story of how a spicy greek olive in the right moment can change your point of view about life, space and universe..

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach something about how to cook italian food, especially gravy and tomatoes sauce for spaghetti and pasta, marmalade tarts and so on..
If you are going to host me and you'll be so kind to tell me in advance what do you prefer I could also provide some ingredients from Italy.
_________

I have very good reasons to believe I have a lot of things to learn and, above all, the wish to know :D.. plays, languages, classical music, astronomy, taking pictures, calligraphy.. dangerously in love with tango, worse than a drug :)
_________

I like sharing. Classical music, movies, exhibitions, promenades, planetarium, readings together and I don't know what else but suggest please :)
In this period I love so much listening to other people stories and sometimes I also feel the joy of sharing silence.
