ABOUT ME

slow traveller to catch more in the details

PHILOSOPHY

Il caso favorisce la mente preparata. (lo disse uno scienziato, Louis Pasteur) Sorry for non translating in english, I prefer to leave it as I heard it the first time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm interested in Movie in general. I go every year to Rome to follow Bimbi Belli at Nuovo Sacher (rassegna di film esordienti). I'll go to see Lars von Trier nevertheless. I recently prefer the magic atmosphere of the theater (expecially Piccolo and Strehler or Elfo Puccini productions in Milan). I love classic and jazz music. José Saramago, Anna Maria Ortese, Amelie Nothomb, Johnathan Coe, Herta Mueller, Haruki Murakami among my favourite writers...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have you ever been to Brazil? Everything in the world is amazig but Brazil is a concentration of naturalistic and human experience! Hitch-hiking was one of my favourite ways of travelling. I know it can be dangerous but until now nothing bad happened to me: is it luck?
Being a teacher in a children school in New York city was one of the nicest experiences I had!
Walking slowly along mountains and beaches, out of the traffic in this beatiful and damned Country which is Italy, is still a source of inspiration for me like in the ancient Grand Tour times, and I would recommend it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Scientific knowledge is foundamental for life in general and the comprehension of human interactions. Language also. I don't like situations in which people make superficial philosophy and politics without knowing real phenomena. I can teach Biology. I'm fond of anthropology and art. I organize cultural events (theatre, concerts, art shows...). I'd like to learn more and update in every fields. Gardening would be great!
