Hi, I'm happy you got to my profile!

I come from Italy, where I have lived for about 22 years.
I can also speak English with Italian accent and English with French accent (test me on that one).
I wish I could do the German one too, but that is black magic and I'll never fully learn it.

I enjoy discussing actual topics,
but love to put a sprinkle of absurdity in conversations,
the world is too cold and deterministic otherwise.

I'd be happy to meet you if you step by Lausanne, Switzerland,
that's where you'll find for the biggest part of the year nowadays.
Just make sure not to write me a copy-paste message. I think the main point of CS is not the free accommodation, and if you can't find anything personalized to tell me, it means I'm not the right host for you.

See you around :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Nowadays I'm listening a lot to CBL and Animal Collective.
Otherwise progressive house, dub techno, funk... Also Fabrizio de Andrè, Ennio Morricone, and other italian classics from my childhood. I have generally given up on music with words in them.

Boyhood, Memento. I liked Perfect Days and Asteroid City recently, though I tend not to watch movies.

100 years of solitude, Demian, Pedro Páramo, Il deserto dei Tartari, La storia di Tönle.
