Overview
About Me
I was born in Torremaggiore, a small town in Puglia, in Italy's southern "heel". Historically what it can be said about Puglia is that there the medieval king Fredrik II died and left plenty of magnificent castles. He was the first who seriously challenged the hegemony of the catholic church on the Italian peninsula and among the firsts who attempted to unify Italy.
In Gothenburg, Sweden, I quitted my Ph.D. in Medieval Philosophy for studying at music school and trying to pursue a music career and now I moved to Stockholm where I study for becoming an high school teacher. My subjects are history, philosophy, italian. In the near future I will (probably) add also german and religion.
I like history, philosophy, literature, old book stores and Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. I highly appreciate arts, music (folk, songwriters, and indie-rock), and literature, I play the guitar and sing my own songs (in Italian, English, and Swedish). I love to write. I've published two books so far (in Italian) and I'm now working on a novel set up in Sweden.
I'm an easy-going and open-minded person and a language nerd.
OBS. Im Moment bin ich besonders interessiert Deutsche-sprechende Leute zu hosten um mein Deutsch am Leben zu halten. Wenn du Deutsch-sprechend bist schreib bitte mir auf Deutsch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
