Class '92. Born in April in a remote village in the countryside (punctually allergic to pollen), a few miles from his city of dreams: Florence.
It feeds on music, dreams and poetry. Outgoing and cheerful, eternally curious, incurable romantic. Find at least ten reasons every day to fall in love with something: women, men, children, glances, smiles, landscapes, songs, smells, memories, ideals ... Proud and troublesome enough, with four wheels to move because he was born comfortable. A lover of art and all forms of expression, sided with the freedom of thought always. Musically communist; ideally progressive, feminist and liberal-socialist. Professes Universal Love as the only Faith; Buddhism as a philosophy of life and inspiration.
After graduating Scientific studies "Political Science" curriculum in "Communication, Media and Journalism," the School "Cesare Alfieri" of Florence. Dreams of being able to communicate and excite, it is with a pen, a camera or any other means. Passionate about technology and all that is son of progress. Among its myths: De André and Sinatra, Don Gallo and Impastato, Falcone and Borsellino, Pasolini and Bukowski.
In a few years you imagine failed writer and poet for anyone, rich with dreams and hopes, "disgustingly happy."
Loves people simple, healthy values ​​and willing to fight for what they believe. The diversity, the unpredictable, the wonder. The sun, yellow, sea and summer. The books, cinema, culture and practical intelligence. His camera and his guitar, the smell of paper and vinyl. Mayonnaise, French fries, pizza, salami. The details, a pencil in her hair, freckles, smells good, the contact and too much more. Hates any kind of label and social convention: the indifference, superficiality, the Conservatives, the fanatics, racism and empty of thought, who does not breaks the mold, who does not dream strong.

Currently (not) works as a freelance journalist and copywriter, web designer, social media manager and film makers.
Do not ask what it means because maybe you do not even know him ...
But believe it, they like it, and this is enough for now.

Since July of 2014, "because" this his post, he became the promoter of the national campaign to raise awareness #vorreiprendereiltreno, capturing the attention of Italian and foreign media. On the official website you can read: "We are fighting with a smile, for the rights of all, against all barriers."

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen especially songwriting and indie (I play guitar and a bit 'of piano). My favorite writers are Pasolini, Neruda, Bukowski and Coelho. In addition to reading even I watch many movies, one of my favorite directors are Pasolini (again), Kubrick, Scorsese and Tarantino.
