About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Know the world, know the people

ABOUT ME

Grown up in shakespearian Verona...
during the summer I'm living in Apulia, the place of my roots, on the Ionic Seaside of Lecce. The ideal place to finish to write my book, after my researches all around Europe for my thesis of Phd in Philosophy and History of Political Ideas, after a Master of high specialization in European Politics.
My "parallel" activity is Theater; and to try to study and experiment Cinema/Videomaking, in an "unofficial" way (docufilm, to begin)

PHILOSOPHY

Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité..this words of French Revolution, in the Future..
