About Me

CURRENT MISSION

wondering around XR Extinction Rebellion, sooner or later...

ABOUT ME

Yes, I'm a seeker too, I'm sure that life has still got much to teach me.
Generous, honest, trying to soften my character.
Somebody say I'm a good listener.
Till now, different jobs as employee amoung private and public offices, worked in the non-profit (the last one: 13 months at the national secretariat of a global justice movement, in Italy), collaborated to some EU projects (both Youth and Information).
For short distances downtown, I try to move by bicycle and buses.
Better relations and a more stable and better-payed job will come.

"Anche l'insicurezza che certamente appartiene al nostro tempo va secondo me interpretata in senso positivo, come un segno di speranza: essa infatti ci rende più modesti, più aperti, più disponibili nei confronti degli altri, meno esposti ai rischi di un appiattimento o imbolsimento spirituale". (Alex Langer, Segni dei tempi, da "Die Bruecke", novembre 1967, Sudtirol)

PHILOSOPHY

my life goes around few interconnected values and objectives:
- making territory and people free from mafias;
- ecological conversion (myself and mankind) to limit, consciousness, peace, corresponsibility in front of peoples (and poors as first), planet and future generations
- love, respect and human and civilian rights

It's just an extension of
"deal anybody else as you would like to be dealed by the other ones"
to far people, to biosphere, to next generations.

wwww.alexanderlanger.org contains a philosophy I feel very near with :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Annie Lennox and Eurythmics, Fabrizio De Andrè, RHCP, Alanis Morrisette, Zampaglione, Antonella Ruggiero

I like watching independent movies. Wong Kar Wai. As actors, I adore Margherita Buy (I adore Johnny Depp and Jensen Ackles too, but I'm afraid that I'd adore them even besides their drama-qualities).

Books: essays about my interests,
for ex:
- Una vita più semplice
- Il popolo dell'economia solidale alla ricerca di un'altra economia, Davide Biolghini
- Terra di rapina, Giuliana Saladino
... but also the Memories of Adriano, Marguerite Yourcenar.
If you want to borrow some and you are near Palermo, give a look on www.babelteka.org (user: mrc).

Magazines and Journals: L'Isola Possibile, Altroconsumo...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From the top of umbrian sweet hills, to not succeeding in realizing where was the start and where the queu of a very crowded Perugia-Assisi peace march, so many we were!

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe I know something about my town's history and places.
I can share all I know about social movements. With palermitans, I can share my books (www.babelteka.org, user: mrc).
I want to learn Maltese and Arab language (both flying and by sea).
