Hi there, my name is Leonardo and I'm an Italian guy working in movie production. My main role is taking care of the ministerial financing for movie productions. Think of me as the knight that fights the dark forces of Italian bureaucracy to get some shiny cash to make art-house movies. As a student, I did my bachelor in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, so I'm well versed in crazy conversations that change topic quickly ;)

More facts about me: I love travelling (though I have not travelled nearly as much as I would like to), watching movies, reading and petting cats, our overlords. I'm gay (only mentioned to avoid unpleasantness) and enthusiastic about cooking (I will cook for you!), music and having profound discussions. In addition, I have a passion for psychology and I am deeply interested in languages, so I'm looking forward to hearing facts about you, your culture and your language.

Anything else, you can find out by hanging out with me. I'm looking forward to getting to know you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up in a family where travelling was always seen as something very important, but I've always done it the traditional way. I think meeting people is the salt of life, so I want to expand my life by doing just that and getting out of my comfort zone. I hope you'll be part of my journey!

Music, Movies, and Books

Here is a list of things I thoroughly enjoy:

Movies (though I work in the field, I'm really not a snob). Fantasy and psychology books. Food. Music ranging from the trashiest pop to gregorian chants. Food. Cute cat videos on YT. Political banter in pubs. Oh, did I say food?

Movies I like: Interstellar, Romeo and Juliet (1968), 12 Angry Men, Arrival, The Lord of The Rings, The Help, Hidden Figures

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped through the almost-closed doors of a train living the platform and barely made it. Felt like Tom Cruise for a split second

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you around Bolzano, take you to see nice spots in South-Tyrol and cook a variety of Italian foods for you. If it's summer time, I promise to take you to swim by a waterfall!
