ABOUT ME

Mostly maths / Physics PhD student, I dedicate all the time left to music (I play double-bass and some guitar). I like traveling and meeting people who live in the places I visit. I love wandering in the cities, getting lost and discovering the beautiful hidden places around, far from the busy and shop-ful main streets.

Interests

I'm very curious about things I still don't know, and happy as well to share opinions about things I (suppose to) know.

I play double-bass, a bit of guitar and a little piano. I'm a jazz-head, I mostly listen to this music (from the giants to more recent experimental stuff), but my musical taste goes from classical music to the most recent things, although my knowledge of music of the last three decades is not so developed (but I'm working to improve it).

I'm also a movies addict (I don't have a favorite genre, but I can say that Fast&Furious is not exactly my movie), and recently I discovered TV series (which are an even worse drug).

I love cooking, I think I'm quite good at it, at least in making Italian food (pasta and risotto, in a million of tastes). I started cooking when I was vegetarian (it lasted almost 7 years), so that my skills mostly concern veggies&co, but I'm looking forward to learn new stuff.
