ABOUT ME

I'm an Italian student from Turin. I'm 23 years old.
I have a Bachelor in Materials Science.
My dream is to research in the field of nanotechnologies and to create a new nano-material.
I'm the first of three brothers. I love to trip through Europe and find out new places and people with whom share experiences, learn and grow together.
From October 2013 to August 2014, I have been stayed in Munich to attend Master's course.
I lived in Montpellier from September 2014 to April 2015. I have lived in Storrs, CT, as Exchange Scholar, completing my Master's Degree thesis.
I currently live in Turin, my hometown, for my sabatic year and for the preparation for my PhD program.

My leading philosophical sentence is "No matter where you go, there you are".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to know new people from all the countries and to explore cities and cultures in a non-conventional way.

Interests

My hobbies are DJing (electronic music), Ultimate Frisbee and video making. I love drawing, riding my bycicle in parks, discover street & contemporary art everywhere and enrich my knowledge.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love electronic music very much, but also alternative rock and synthpop are really pleasent for my ears. In general, if someone is a good artist, she/he can make a great work in any kind of music.

My favourite movie is The Truman Show by Weir, for the originality of the idea and Jim Carrey's cleverness. I love also other movies as Pi by Aharonofskiy, Waking Life by Linklater, Brazil, The Fisher King and The Zero Theorem by Gilliam and Beyond the Black Rainbow by Cosmatos.

My favourite book is L'Assommoir by Zola, who is my favourite artist, too. He succeeded to beat down any filters between the reader and the reality. I love also other books as The Buddenbrook Family by Mann, Il Cavaliere Rampante by Calvino, Sostiene Pereira by Trabucchi and La Divina Commedia by Alighieri.
I love poems written by Neruda, Baudelaire, Ungaretti, Montale, Saba.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Loving Life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Italian language and culture and learn the same from another one. The most important question is not "what?", it's "how?"
