Epicureanism

"It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly and it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life."

Interests

I like traveling, meeting new people, sharing experiences and stories. I like very much music,concerts and festivals. For two years, I worked as a volunteer for a youth association in Italy, ARCI, organizing concerts, social activities and other nice things. Now I am a Phd Student in sociology: I am interested in how society works, in new forms of social organization and alternative life stiles.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Un indovino mi disse (Tiziano Terzani), La fine è il mio inizio (Tiziano Terzani), Due di due (Andrea de Carlo), The catcher in the rye (J.D Salinger), Le Petit Prince (A. Saint Exupéry), Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno (Italo Calvino), Breackfast at Tiffany's (T.Capote).

Poetry, poetry, poetry! My favourite authors are: Pablo Neruda, Alda Merini, Charles Baudelaire, William Blake, Eugenio Montale.

Art: I love visual art. I enjoy in particular all contemporary and modern painters (and street writers!), but I still get enchanted by the details in the ancient flemish paintings.

Music: I like good music. It can be pop, rock, punk, alternative...but it has to be good music!
