CURRENT MISSION

learning how to read into people's face, which means learning how to see

ABOUT ME

I am a daydreamer. I firmly believe that in daydreaming you find yourself rather than getting lost. Dreamers are commonly spoken of as losers, but fortunately a well known "loser", S.Beckett, reminds me to always "try again, fail again, fail better".

PHILOSOPHY

Ripeness is all. Come on. (W.Shakespeare)

Interests

I'm above all interested in people, I like having good conversations, sharing and challenging my ideas and my cultural models. I'm interested in all kinds of art, especially in performing arts. I love smiling: it is the universal welcome. I'm left-wing. I hate racists, homophobes, chauvinists and Silvio Berlusconi.

I love S.Kubrick (especially his Barry Lyndon), Lars Von Trier, David Lynch, S.Soderbergh, Orson Welles, Woody Allen, M.Monicelli, Fellini, Pierpaolo Pasolini as a writer and director...too many to list.
I'm interested in many kinds of music, I love Telemann, Bach and Monteverdi, but I'm also fond of Bjork, Anthony and the Johnsons, Nick Drake, Marianne Faithfull, David Bowie, Massive Attack...
I love Gertrude Stein and Hilda Doolittle's poems, Beckett and Joyce and more generally Modernism. I have a passion for Italo Calvino, Gesualdo Bufalino, Luigi Pirandello, Jolanda Insana and Pedro Salinas.
