Born and raised in Venice, I like hanging out with people from other countries, telling them about about my city, its secrets and its issues too. And to learn from them how it is to see Venice for the first time: the feelings, the emotions that I could never experience as a native.

PHILOSOPHY

Echoes of past events
nudge the tiller on
my present course.
I await their reflection
in the future.
