House renewed, the pictures of the house are out of date.

BTW, we are a gay couple, Michele (46 yo) and Gianmarco (33 yo). We live together. We are kind, free, curious and tolerant guys.... but definitely not tolerant with homo-transphobic, chauvinist, sovereignist or racist people. Currently we live with three female cats, Biba, Mia and Lea. One of us is a sociologist and works in the social services of the local administration, the other one is a psychiatrist and works as a physician in a service for drug addictions.

We prefer to give hospitality to other gay or LGBTI people, max 1 or 2 nights.

We are highly engaged as activists in the main LGBTI national association in Italy and we focus especially on sexual health issues. We like cooking, food and wine, gardening, cycling, tennis...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We like to meet people from all over the world. We like to be helpful. We like traveling and networking. We like to share and exchange experiences. We like to hear non-Italian voices/languages around us... :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

... to be updated...

We don't have specific favorite music, except for some Italian authors of an old generation, who will be always in my heart (especially Fabrizio De Andrè). Some key non-italian songs: The Boxer (Simon&Garfunkel), Todo Cambia (Mercedes Sosa), Hallelujah (Jeff Bukley), She's Got Her Ticket, Crossroads, All that you have is your soul (Tracy Chapman), Sinnerman-Ain't Got No, I Got Life-I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free (Nina Simone).

Books in my mind: Erich Fromm, "On Disobedience and Other Essays", Bertrand Russel, "Why I Am Not A Christian", Gabriel Garcia Marquez, "One Hundred Years of Solitude", Isabel Allende, "The House of The Spirits".

Movies: Thelma and Luise, Shortbus, Everything is Illuminated, Milk, The Hours, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Little Miss Sunshine.
