From Bruno van den Elshout The Hague, Netherlands Jun 3 Positive We should have talked a little more so I could leave a more extensive reference. Anyway, Paolo seemed like a nice guy who is willing to contribute his share to making this world a better place.
From DRPRUTZ Phnom Penh, Cambodia May 13 Positive Paolo was nice, considerate guest. He was away during the days and joined us for evening conversations which was really nice. Well, to sum up, way to less time we spent together and I look forward to meeting Paolo again - either in Innsbruck or in Italy.
From Yvonne Heidegger Innsbruck, Austria May 13 Positive Paolo is a very likeable, trustworthy and fun person - although we only spent little time together, I think it can be great fun spending time with him ;) and paolo: I won´t throw my tv away, but surely switch it off in the future :) see you!
From Tonet and Aurora Madrid, Spain Apr 23 Positive We hate Trento autobus ;D. Even the Trento autobus has a strange way of working, we had a great time in Trento thanks to Paolo and Francesca. They helped us lots and we had very good conversations with them
From RIGGASCONI Rome, Italy Mar 28 Positive The trust network monk.
From Leonardo Fantino Rome, Italy Mar 19 Positive He's the best. He's a super kind amazing genius.
He's the PIMP of Trento and he knows how to have fun.
A+++
From Martina Bertazzon Venice, Italy Mar 18 Positive Paolo is a funny, interesting, open minded person. He is that kind of person u hope to meet again, somewhere else, by chance!
From Sara Pinta Trento, Italy Feb 21 I met him on 15th feb 2008 for a cs meeting, he looks kind.
From CRIIRSARA Bolzano, Italy Feb 17 Positive He was the one who suggested me to subscribe to Couchsurfing, and I did and now I really like that project. We got in touch because of some problems with Hc.
He knows a lot about Hospitality exchange networks and which should be the real philosophy of such networks.
And he is an always smiling, positive, person
From LORENTZ Rome, Italy Jan 7 Positive I had an amazing time with Paolo and Francesca! Sense of humor, clever and polite...
They helped me a lot so that, on several occasions, I felt like they were taking care of me, when it should have been the opposite!
Paolo rolled arancine (for you, dear readers, it's a tipical liverkilling sicilian street food) as a real professional and now, in my opinion, he could apply for the sicilan citizenship.
Isn't it the real CS spirit?
After three days, what a surprise, the fish didn't stink!
It happens with guests like them.
From Anna Petrova Amsterdam, Netherlands Dec 19, 2007 Positive My bicycle-teacher :). Hey-hey!
After staing in Trento i start to be professional cyclist :)
From Luca Conti Senigallia, Italy Nov 30, 2007 Positive Paolo is a very smart guy very active in the software development world. He is a very kind person.

From Renee Leclerc Minneapolis, United States Nov 13, 2007 Positive Yes, I hosted Paolo while not even there. However I did meet him and saw right off that he's a genuinely nice guy. I was glad to help.
From Enrico Anzi Dublin, Ireland (Republic of) Nov 5, 2007 Positive he introduced me in couchsurfing! I lived for some months in his flat and it has been great.
We somehow shared our easy going life style and I still keep on learning a lot from him.

From Monta Stegenburga Rome, Italy Aug 30, 2007 Positive Paolo and his girlfriend Francheska are so positive and nice persons.

I have certainly learnt tons about Italian Society from you! =)
From Ele Providence, United States Apr 4, 2007 Positive I came to Trento when Paolo was hosting his girlfriend's brother, who got his degree while I was there... and they invited me to the party!! :)Paolo and Fra are lovely people, smiling and welcoming... Thank you, I really enjoyed your company!!

From Sergio Tonon Florence, Italy Dec 22, 2006 Positive We shared our experiences as we'd know each other since a long time. Gently, friendship, smiling, such a perfect host! We realized to stay in the same fair: FA LA COSA GIUSTA, an ecological answer to our way of life.
From BABIM Trento, Italy Dec 20, 2006 Positive Nice, smart and funny guy. Very open-minded, it's easy to feel good with him. Very active on free software community. He is *the* reference for all of us on the newest internet technologies. Questionable musical taste.
From Luciano Formicola Naples, Italy Dec 18, 2006 Positive He surfed Cristiano's house for a weekend with his girlfriend and I invited them at me for my friend's birthday party. Nice and fun, these 2 guys have my respect.
From Cristiano Polcaro Naples, Italy Dec 12, 2006 Positive PAOLO A SALUTE FROM BEAUTIFUL CITTA PIU OF THE WORLD WHEN YOU WANT TO COME NOT PROBLEM.... SALUTES To FRANCESCA A LOT MUCH LIKEABLE One....

From Sven Van Den Meerssche Brussels, Belgium Oct 15, 2006 Positive Paolo stayed at my place for 2 nights. I showed him a bit around in Brussels and I introduced him to the sometimes strange belgian beers. He's a very social guy with a lot of interests. I hope to surf his couch aswell one day.
From Cristiano Nattero Chiavari, Italy Sep 25, 2006 Positive Paolo has a natural talent to increase people enthusiasm or at least that happens when we talk :-)

From Andreas Hörfurter Ubersee, Germany Jul 24, 2006 Positive We contacted Paolo via Couchsurfing and HC and he hosted us on a spontanious escape from Bavarian winter to the southern side of. Paolo and Francesca are a very sweet and nice couple and perfect hosts (and surely guests). We enjoyed our time in Trento very much - especially the time with Paolo and Francesca. Thank you for your hospitality, the nice dinner, your surprise party and all the nice meeting! Hope to see you again - this side or on your side of the alps.
From Riccardo Cambiassi London, United Kingdom Jul 19, 2006 A semantic web backlash. I was introduced to couchsurfing by Paolo's blog, a while ago. Eventually we met a few days ago when he's been my couchowner in Trento.
He and Francesca made for the most enjoyable visit to Trento I could think of: a bike ride, great conversation (and many ideas), a missed concert, and spaghetti with sicilian sauce (just to give that exotic taste to the evening).
It's been hard to leave in the morning. Really.
From Viktoria Hörfurter Ubersee, Germany Jul 19, 2006 Great weekend in Trento! Paolo and Francesa are a wonderful couple and great hosts. Thank you for the pleasant weekend, dinner, party and everything... Hope to see you again!
