    Together.

  • Cities and countries I have visited

    ENGLISH
    I have been in England and in Ireland (Dublin) on study trips and I took part in a cultural exchange in Germany.
    I have also been in Spain (Madrid) where I spent a week with some friends and we went also to... Toledo, visiting by night! (actually: we lost the bus so we wait dancing and walking through the city until the following bus in the morning ahah)
    I have also visited the majority of Sicily, a wonderful island rich of awesome natural and historical spots and full of... delicious food. As a matter of fact my grandparents are from there, so I also know some Sicilian dialect ahah
    Recently I have been in Naples, and of course tasted an excellent pizza!

  • Favourite books/authors/films

    As a teen I started reading fantasy books, in particular I read all the Licia Troisi saga about the "Upside World", then when I was 14 I fell in love with "The truth about the Harry Quebert affaire" written by Joel Dicker, then I adored Ken Follett's books like "The Pillars of the Earth", and soon I want to finish the utter penthalogy.
    I also like essays and my favourite science populariser is the phisicist Carlo Rovelli of "Seven brief lessons of physics" and "Reality is not as it appears", which led me to subscribe to the course of Physics at the university.
    A book I found marvellous is certainly "Die Stadt der Traumenden Bucher" (The City of Dreaming Books) by Walter Moers, I got interested in the figure of Bertrand Russell, a philosopher mathematician and logicist of the 20th century, reading his paper "The reason why I am not Christian" and I also loved "The art of being fragile" of Alessandro D'Avenia.
    Come on, you'll understand that I love books at 360° and I am always curious to learn something new by reading a good book!

  • I always enjoy talking about...

    I love talking about science, philosophy, art, poetry, psychology, personal growth, feminism, books and whatsoever because I love to share the little world of knowledge I got until now and love - more - to listen to the big worlds of knowledge everyone has on its own!

  • It is better now

    I think nowadays there is the beginning of a cultural movement which is bringing to a more liberal discussion in different themes that in the past were given as facts.
    I am talking about the LGBT movement, the increasing interest and events to bring to a cultural change in the patriarchial society throughout the last Feminism Wave, but also mental health and sexual freedom.
    I know that these are very delicate topics, but I am happy that today there is the possibility of having discussion and talking about these things which have always been present in society but have been always put into secrets, taboos and like something you could not talk about.
    I am here to claim the right of FREEDOM of the human soul, obviously with the respect of who is around you.
    Sorry, I have been too serious maybe, but this is something of big value in my opinion.

  • A trick or piece of advice

    Here a longer advice:

    1 Listen (to your needs and to people around you, helping others makes you a happier member of a community)

    2 Remember (who you are, your origins, your ambitions and don't forget, so just move in the direction of your achievements)

    4 Seize the moment (trains do not pass a second time, chances and occasions come but you need to take and exploit them: life's a journey with limited time)
    5 Do (doing always win over thinking, feel sad? workout. feel frustrated? run. feel upset? make a piece of art, prepare a present or a meal for someone. feel angry? swim or sing. feel unmotivated? listen to powerful music and dance with it. feel something bad? have a day in nature and switch off from all digital devices, sometimes all we need is to be healed by sunlight. THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO MANAGE YOUR EMOTIONS and get rid of negative ones and heal you up by yourself)

    6 Stay fresh (nobody has a perfect life, but nobody queues for a flat rollercoaster, so enjoy good times and think in difficult ones, but be light with both emotions, life's a wave and it flows: dance with it)

    8 Ask (for help, for curiosity, for information, to have a better knowledge, to stay in contact with people, how people are feeling, ... : art of asking is a back-rewarding activity for both asker and receiver)

    10 Fire (exploit your passions, do what inspires you, take up some projects, learn languages and know new people, change city/job, you have one life, don't waste your time doing nasty and boring stuff: burn with all your desires and be a damned beautiful star)

  • My opinion on human nature

    So fu*king complex that we know the 1% about it.
    I think this is the biggest question of our time: between individualism of a society where we are always more and more "connected" virtually but just focused on our own but at the same time we need the Other, unless we can't deal with the big challenges the future of a world full of technologies and man control over "his-not-his" beautiful and wide-but-limited wonderful "pale blue dot": our home, the Earth.

  • My interests in other cultures

    Alphabet, words that in my language don't even exist, food, habits, school system, activities, music and pretty much everything: because the Other is Richness, Diversity takes to Beauty.
