Just moved from my shining Tuscany to work in this northern part of Italy: I stopped with Couchsurfing for a while, but now that I have a sort of balance I really would love to host again people and maybe discovering together these mountains and unknown little villages around me!

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I think that each person can give you so much food for thoughts; nowadays we just can't communicate, we just stay with our own thoughts not trying to know people sitting, walking or working around us. Too much often we are afraid of people living close to us. Many people think that we have to defend us, to fight for our origins, that we don't have to learn anything more from other people. In particular during these passed two years I've been trying to talk more to people, to know them more, to know more about their origins, to be food for their own thoughts. I want to keep on doing that, trying to be also helpful for their stay in Tuscany. That's why I'm on Couchsurfing.

Musica, film e libri

Actually I don't like many kinds of music, but I have a particular interest in Italian song-writers, classical music and some jazz music.

I could write words and words about movies, but I'll try to summarize what I like the most: from Italian cinema I have to quote our ancestors Fellini, Antonioni and Pasolini, but even the recent Paolo Sorrentino, which photography and direction are growing up in every single movie, has to be quoted somehow, even if his last Youth has something really dull in its script. Another Italian director that I have really liked is Marco Bellocchio whose movies are the best bond between psychopathology and cinema I have ever seen. My two favourite directors, after many movies seen, still remain Stanley Kubrick and Andreij Tarkovskij, a thousand million words wouldn't be enough to describe it. Furthermore, I am falling in love with Japanese directors, but the most famous one Akira Kurosawa, in my opinion, has to fight very hard against Kaneto Shindo, his Onibaba is stunning, nothing more to say. Ozu and Mizoguchi anyway keep high the Oriental flag. Thumbs up also for: Lars Von Trier, the first Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar, Ingmar Bergman, François Truffaut, Francis Ford Coppola, Orson Welles and so on. I really can't understand Hitchcock's art and totally hate Cronenberg.

I am trying to read more classics as I can, but I start thinking they're multiplying.
