CURRENT MISSION

to walk the roads of the ZONE

ABOUT ME

I come from the South, "Terra amara", and I see myself as a citizen of the world. I think we all have the responsibility of everything that surround us, including plants and animals, near or far. I try to turn my philosophy into actions, starting from the small things, "the tiles form the mosaic". I study Anthropology, but is better to say that Anthropology is my way of life. I search the Beauty, that everywhere born mysteriously, because it can save the humans. Stories are my passions and obsession, to listen is an art, as well as to observe. I like to give smiles, hugs and kisses, to feel warm with people, to contradict the loneliness. Every ending is a beginning.

I grown up in a nasty suburb of Napoli, I learned life from Family, Books and Streets. Flown up in Bologna when I was 19, there I did the university, there was a change of perspectives that improved the knowledge. I always had the passion of travel, to travel alone or with someone gives questions and some answers; and it's the best way to find yourself in the others. So I travelled, and I still do, to discover the human being and the strange crazy thing called life.

Interessi

Life. Books, especially novels written with blood, and Movies. To talk about, for the necessary time, of the necessary things. To walk, at every time of the day, to go on bicycle, the best invention after the word. To read: papers, clouds, faces, signs, words, imagines, future. To cook and, obviously, to eat. And drink:-P. To meet friends, old and new. To write stories, to preserve memories, to find the new in the now. To go out, to stay in. The Poetry.

Music: everything that call my soul to dance or to meditate

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I remember one time being hosted by a man I met on a beach in southern morocco, in his barrack made of wood and metal from the trash. We didn't have a language in common, he didn't ask me money or things, as a meal we shared a fish that fell from a boat of fishermen coming back to the harbour. We stayed silently, smiling to eachother, listening to music coming from an almost broken radio. That guy was, for me, the best demonstration of the intimate goodness of people.

Insegna, impara, condividi

Well, we all can learn for the whole life, from everybody and from everything. I also think that the best teachings come when one is not teaching but simply living according to his beliefs. The example is the best way to teach. Then, I am a quite good italian cook, and I love to learn new ways of cooking, especially vegetarian. I like to share books, and movies, and ideas and opinion about that. All my knowledge about the places where I have been is available for my guests and hosts. I would like to learn as many languages as possible, and customs, beliefs, dances, gestures, styles, and everything dealing with culture.
