ABOUT ME

I was born in Bologna...my dad is from Sicilia, my mum is from Calabria and I have some Arbresh roots.

What I do like:
* the sun shining / watching the rain falling from a window;
* helping people and making them smile;
* the nice chats over a glass of wine and some delicious food.

What I do not like:
* the selfish, arrogant, false people;
* eating the cauliflower, broccoli and asparagus;
* the Italian politics and politicians.

I'm a COOKSURFER!

PHILOSOPHY

1° day) Today they imprisoned the gypsy: well after all they are dirty, smell, noise and probably they are thieves, and however I'm not gypsy, so who care?
2° day) Today they imprisoned the ebrew: well after all everyone know they are misers, liers, false and however I'm not ebrew, so who care?
3° day) Today they imprisoned the homosexuals and trans: well after all they are all the pervertites, people who act against nature, someone who is condemned by moral and Church, and however I'm not homosexual, so who care?
4° day) Today they imprisoned the communists: well after all they are against the State, the Power, the God, the Rich; they have no will of work, just to make strike and riots, and however I'm not communist, so who care?
5° day) Today they imprisoned me but by now there was no more nobody to help me
