Hailing from the Italy of Nortwest, my family's roots are both in France and Austria and I'm extremely fond of foreign languages. I practice and spread multilinguism also through couchsurfing. I also do some IG, under 00franconero

As musician: I play (and dance) contemporary folk music-neotrad with several instruments as member of a few local and foreign acts.
I also have a collection of four strings musical instruments, which I use to play.
As writer: I do my Phd in ethnology, plus write reviews of musical events for some magazines, plus various things for my blog on visionireali.eu. I am into several projects including a guidebook describing and leading through the Milan artistic underground.
As activist: I engage daily for free standards, free culture, sustainability and civil issues in Italy and South Eastern Europe, but I am not in a (political:)) party.
As traveller: I love to explore the world around and outside instead of simply visiting it, and exactly this did change my life greatly. Mainly since I went outside of my country for the first time.

My life, briefly and chaotically: born as "Bogianèn", I have become an "Italjenaer" and an "Italonikios", and I expect to become more and more in my lifetime. If you don't know what these words mean, well – you know, everyone has a long story to tell: if you come to my city we will have time to hear these stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

MY CURRENT MISSION

I may say I still have a lot of dreams and already some realities: one reality is my writer's work and my biggest passion, playing and collecting of musical string instruments; the dream is to make an exposition out of it an generally
to become an international cultural promoter in my hometown, by bringing here new friends, not tourists, from abroad to enrich and enjoy life together.

MY PHILOSOPHY (in a nutshell)

«Those who want, will find a way, those who don't, will find an excuse» - A friend

«Probably we lost the war, but certainly we had the best songs» - Unknown fighter of the spanish civil war

«Then I understood: Do you remember that golden bird from our dreams which represents happiness? That's friendship,
love towards the other. Eveything else can cheat and let down, only this cannot, because it depends on us.
I cannot say to someone "be my friend"; but I can say: "I'll be your friend».
- Meša Selimović, Death and the dervish
