About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'll suffer, i'll die. but in the meantime, sun, wind, wine, trallallà -
Soffrirò, morirò. ma intanto, sole, vento, vino, trallalà . - Misa Sapego

ABOUT ME

POSITIVE PEOPLE, UNEXPECTED HAPPENINGS.
Undiciplined independent. Honest, straightfoward, caring and passionate.
Sometimes cliches about italians are true! yes, i make gestures too - http://bit.ly/1r7R20y - .

I want to discover the world and its guests.. I would like to meet other humans from all walks of life who believe in love and tolerance. I like to see all around me from different point of view.
Photography vibrate my mind.
The society where we live need a serious help to change its direction. The way of living, of loving, of enjoying a sunny life it is not depending on the western way of life.
We should reconsider the real values of our time in a life.

"be the change that you wish to see in the world" - i totally agree with the great Ghandi.

I would love to share ideas and to meet other green people from all around the Earth.

I like to philosophize on this and that... and being concrete at the same time.
I try to enjoy all faces of life, share a smile from the heart, a good conversation or simply silence.
Think global, act local!!!

PHILOSOPHY

I prefer shades rather than black or white.

and

I would love to organize an international festival for all the people from the Baltic to the Mediterranean sides. Music, Arts, Vision, Theater, of the different cultures all togheter for enhancing peace and cooperation for a greener communities.

Last but not at least..

I'm planning a docu/reportage trip from june 2019 all around the 28 EU states + Norway and Iceland for environmental awarness in small areas and cities: human perception instead of science approval, local actions instead of waiting public and international authorities taking actions - the famous top/down approach - we will be already exintct.
We need to spread another message to people.
If you are interested, you ll be more than welcome on sharing ideas and taking actions.
Thanks
