CURRENT MISSION

Becoming an astronomer (and maybe seeing an aurora and an eclipse).

ABOUT ME

I'm an astronomer! Well...astronomers are not really how people think of them but I actually know something about stars. I graduated in Bologna, Italy, in late 2011 and, have been a PhD student in Zurich, and am now a researcher in Madrid. I like working (I mean, in astronomy only..!), traveling, and drinking beers, even though the three things are often in disagreement with each other. :-(

Interests

I like alternating diverse moments in my like. I experienced (not always for long..) many things: theatre playing, african percussion, music festival volunteering, language tandems, and so on... A few things never go, though: good beers, good travels, good people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sharing the effort to build-up an independent music festival with a bunch of irish (very) drunk guys. Staring at the monkeys of Manuel Antonio (in Costa Rica) in their (daily?) polite operation of stealing biscuits from tourists' bags. Driving in the incredible infinity of Utah and Arizona, among canyons and arches but no cars at all.
