About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is know myself and understand me.

ABOUT ME

I'm an open minded person who likes know other people, talk from policy to music, from books to film. With me, the people don't get bored and I'm always with a smile upon the face.
I'm looking forward to know people from different countries and cultures, and to see every time new and different places... and every time I like to learn from these experience and change my viewes...!

I am a vigilant patient who does not want to fines. I am on the Sunday following to your hangover. I am that friend that made you drunk. I am a black and thick cramp without which you can feel. I am another boring idea, before you take your sleep. I am the priest who will marry the woman you corrupt. They are at the bottom of your class and you've forgotten. They are examining what has copied from the task. I am behind a glass of a building as you go. I'm the one who is chased but did not know how to turn around. They are the old who wakes up with no sleep to die.
Travelling and visiting new places is what I really love, so that's why I'm every time ready to make my bag in 5 minutes and start a new trip! And when I say travelling, I don't mean to be a tourist: I mean to live the place you're visiting, to be part of it, to know people who are living there, to visit unusual places...

PHILOSOPHY

Know other people is the better thing in the life! After Rome, of course :)

Interests

Like I say before, I love everything that is culture. Listen jazz, blues, rock, classical music. I don't really love the house/techno but if I drink I love every beat. I play, not well, the guitar (only chords) but I want to upgrade my competences. Cook is a must for italian people and if u come in my house for lunch, u can eat some dishes. I love read book, literature degree addicted, see films. My preferences are for the cinema d'autore (nouvelle vague, neorealismo, british new wave) and don't like the popular cinema. For the history, appreciation for the time from 1960 to 1980 for the 'brigatista' war in Italy. And what else? Ask me... :)

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: difficult to say, it depends by my humour and by the situation... rock, jazz, blues, electronic, folk, alternative, indie.... For sure i don't like techno, house and commercial (pop).. I love to discover bands unknown and more the 'sad singer' like Bon Iver, Jeff Buckley, Tim Buckley, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake and so on...

BOOKS: Some of my favourites are: Henry V. Miller, Niccolò Ammaniti, Alessandro Baricco, Jack Kerouac, Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sandro Veronesi, Italo Calvino, Andrea Camilleri, Isabel Allende, Primo Levi, Nick Horby, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Ernest Hemingway, John Fante, Dante Alighieri, Eugenio Montale, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Giacomo Leopardi, Ugo Foscolo, Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Raymond Queneau, Roberto Saviano, Charles Baudelaire....
