I am a journalist working for a major British media company. I spend a lot of time working, but I also try to find as much time as possible for people important for me and at least some time for my favorite leisure activities which are: long walks, films, good TV series and podcasts, books and theater. And, of course, I try to travel as much as possible.

"Il mestiere del giornalista e' difficile, carico di responsabilita', con orari lunghi, anche notturni e festivi, ma e' sempre meglio che lavorare".(Luigi Barzini)

Music, Movies, and Books

These days I mostly listen to the hipstery Pitchfork stuff, but in better days I've listened to a lot of lot of classic rock like The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc. I still appreciate this music tremendously. I love the 80s music such as Depeche Mode and some other synth pop bands. I love R.E.M. and The Cure.
My favorite film is Bergman's Fanny and Alexander. I love long films in general - hence my second favorite film is probably Bertolucci's Novecento. I have watched quite a decent portion of all the "greatest films ever made" list and keep track of major film festivals.
My two favorite books are Hopscotch by Julio Cortázar and The Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse
