About Me

I am a Computer Science student, lived in London for quite a while and now I moved to California to continue my studies here to understand better what I want to do, where I want to go.
Originally Italian and a chef by profession I understood I needed some sense of accomplishment and purpose that the world of technology and entrepreneurship, my second career, is starting to give me.
My real raw passions, though, are music, dancing and acting. Things that I keep alive on the side hoping that the overnight success one day will come! ;)

PHILOSOPHY
People always compare life to a journey, thinking that one day you will arrive who knows where. But a better analogy for life is perhaps the art of dancing, not a journey. You don't dance just for the final move, the final goal. The act of dancing is purposeful in itself in every step that you make and there is no final goal. Such is life.
If you live your life as a journey, when you will be 40 and you will reach your "success", you will realise that there is no sense of complete fulfilment that we all seek, and you will feel pretty much the same way you always felt, cause the rush to get there was just an illusion. So enjoy life. Now.
