About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To eat three times a day by doing what I like to do.

ABOUT ME

editTo self-depict yourself is always a really dangerous - but funny - operation. I could say I really like to humor myself and other people, that I'm very open about different ways of thinking, and it probably would be true. But I enjoy observing how the imagination of other people differs from mine, so maybe you could have a totally different view on my personality, and this would be absolutely wonderful. Every pragmatic experience is of the uttermost importance for me, because it can help to develop my skill to generate new situations.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have a real, stable opinion on reality. It really varies on the moments of the day, but I generally think that the entire system of the universe is so vast and so complex to be conceptually ungraspable. (This doesn't mean I'm not trying to grasp it).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A flock of crows in a forest and the clouds lighted by a grain-coloured moon in Sicily. Every play in which I acted has been amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can explain reasonably well the situation in Italy, the Geography, the Economy, the Culture, the Politics, and I may be able to teach a little bit of language. I'm trying to become a professional actor, so I can teach some techniques and excercises to help you express better in front of an audience. I can also play guitar fairly well and i can read musical sheets. I am also very fond of ancient Greek and Latin Mythology and Literature, I can translate a text in Ancient Greek or Latin to italian in a reasonable extent of time with a dictionary. I would like to cook better, to learn a new language and maybe to learn the basics of agriculture.
