Something about me
(and my site)
Personal
I was born in northern Italy in the late 70ies, and how I wish time had stop then, but it didn’t.
I live with my wife Laura, my daughter Emma Giulia, my cat Uma and our peluche pet penguin, Johnatan Sebastian Ringo. In my free time, I’m a more-enthusiastic-than-good tennis player, I like skiing, cooking, reading books and watchin more TV shows than movies. My all-time favourite is probably Lost (what a stupid way to destroy a good idea) Dirty Sexy Money, but I also like Dirty Sexy Money Lost, House MD, Dexter and, more recently, Cougar Town. Oldies but goldies mention goes to Knight Rider, McGyver and Sex and the City.
Education
My education is a very unique path between different topics, including science, humanities and economics. The most important steps of my education are:
- master in product management – Milan, 2005
- master’s degree in foreign languages and literatures – Milan, 2002
- scientific grammar school – Piacenza, 1996
You can contact me for my full resume if interested.
Music
Since I was 10, I started playing several instruments, including piano, bass, guitar, accordion and flute, but, honestly, I am really good only at piano.
My first important band was called “The Crawlers”; I was the lead singer and bass player, and we’ve recorded some songs I am still proud of. I currently play the piano and sing backing vocals with a new fantastic band called Warm Morning.
