CURRENT MISSION

We love travelling and meeting people, see how different and unique we are, see how our cultures are interesting also in their very little nuances.

We've become a Family! in January 2013 Agata was born and in March 2017 Giacomo was born; in October 2018 the cat Petito joined the adventure.
Our house is Family-Friendly.

***

I am very curious about anything, I love listening to people, I love music, philosophy and stories.

Alessandro plays bass guitar and he is a total fanatic of 60s psichedelia, garage rock, stoner rock. He is a very talented musician but he will be a rock'n'roll star when he will retire from his job in nuclear medicine. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Meeting and learn from everybody. Geertz once said something like "it is only from the differences that we realise how and who we are". that's it. if i can't see what white is, i'll never know that black is black.
