About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a Civil Engineer, currently living and working in Ethiopia on large hydro power projects. I spend in Ethiopia the most of the year and I'm home only during my vacation. I'm atheist (I know that it's strange that an italian is not catholic, but I dislike the Catholic theories so much that they make me not to believe in any god).
I like sports, in particular I play football, I love skiing and snowboarding, but also rafting, cycling and volleyball. I like to travel and to meet people from "different cultures"...my wife is Ethiopian!!!! I like to drink wine (I come from a famous wine-region...called Chianti) and beer and to taste typical food from all over the world. I like to spend some time with my friends and with friends of my friends. I love my son Tommaso, my family and my tiny village Castellina in Chianti...
