ABOUT ME

What should I say...
I want to know how the people are outside Italy. I was born in a small "bush village" and I grew up in a simple way. I went to city when I was twenty. I appreciate the newest things like Personal Computers and the oldest ones like heavy manual works. I kill time with some hobbies like reading, chess, music, jogging and obviously friends for funny activities: trips, walks (and hikes), drinks ;) , concerts, museum and so forth

PHILOSOPHY

Woody Allen
The advantage of being intelligent is that you can always play the fool, while the opposite is completely impossible.

Mao Tze-Tung
Every long march begins with one small step.

Albert Einstein
Everyone knows that something is impossible, then come a naive person who doesn't know it, and do it.

Kurt Goedel
Se la religione è definita come un sistema di idee che contiene enunciati indimostrabili, allora Godel ci ha insegnato che la matematica è una religione. Anzi, è l'unica religione che può dimostrare di esserlo.
If religion is defined as a system of ideas that has not demonstrable, then Godel taught us that mathematics is a religion. Indeed, it is the only religion that can prove to be so.

Orson Welles (1915-1985)
In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock.

Count up to 100 before you do something (or speak, as we say in Italy)..

We are on the same boat, so you should do the best thing for you and the others. Sometimes the cooperation brings up to better results..

I can say "see my blog" but it's written in Italian...
I like write, read and stay in contact with the nature but when I don't play in a lanparty :)
I'm sensible to the politic, social problems in general and I want to save the world :D
I think I'm a logic person. I like to read scientific books and good elaborated stories.
