Originally from Sicily, but my mind is usually in 16th-century Istanbul or 1990s Baku. I’ve lived across Eastern Europe, but I’m currently based in Madrid, working on a documentary project.

I am not here for standard tourism, hiking, or small talk. I am a filmmaker and curious soul exploring the intersections of history, urban decay, and the 'alt' scene. If you recognize my Molchat Doma or Nitzer Ebb shirts, we will probably have plenty to discuss.

I prefer post-punk basement shows over mountain trails, and deep conversations about philosophy or wrestling over 'sightseeing.' If you know a quiet spot in Kadıköy to discuss life and the future of independent cinema, let’s grab a coffee

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I’m here because I’m a curious person, but I’m bored of the typical tourist/expat bubble in Madrid. I want to break the corporate routine by connecting with people who have high-energy interests or niche obsessions. Whether we talk about your culture, my book projects, or why Baku is such a unique city, I’m looking for genuine intellectual exchange, not just small talk

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: I have a deep obsession with 80s and 90s electronic sounds. My daily rotation includes German EBM, Darkwave, and Italo-disco. I also appreciate Eurodance, Balkan/Turkish pop, and heavier acts like Rammstein or Danzig.

Movies: I am moved by the cinematography of Nuri Bilge Ceylan, the depth of Krzysztof Kieślowski, and the atmosphere of Dario Argento. I prefer films that stay with you long after they end.

Books: I am currently writing my own book. My personal library is filled with biographies, history, and the works of Houellebecq, Bukowski, Hermann Hesse, and Stefan Zweig.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I successfully self-taught Russian and am currently tackling Turkish to deepen my connection with the culture. I also read 35 books in a single year, which helped fuel my current journey of writing my own book. Beyond that, navigating life while moving abroad multiple times—most recently to Madrid—has been my biggest adventure.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you the basics of video editing or how to start and manage YouTube channels. I am currently very focused on learning Turkish and improving my Brazilian. I am always happy to share deep dives into niche history, Wikipedia rabbit holes, or the world of wrestling

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can offer honest, existential conversations over a good meal or a drink. I can share my perspective on life as an Italian who has lived in several different European countries. I am respectful of space and routine, but I’m always up for a debate about cinema, music, or literature
