CURRENT MISSION

To explore, to create, to tell

ABOUT ME

"Infinite cose da fare... e così poco tempo!"
("There are so many things to do, and so little time to do them!")

I'm curious of everything, but just few things deserve my devotion.
I'm a quiet and calm person, but I always need to do something, in every moments of my life. I can't stand doing nothing.
I like to listen more than to talk, but if I feel that someone really wants to listen to me I couldn't stop to talk.

PHILOSOPHY

"You are the light of the world".
So, stop complain about darkness and shine!
