ABOUT ME

psycho working with psychos

PHILOSOPHY

"odio gli indifferenti: vivo, sono partigiano. perciò odio chi non parteggia, odio gli indifferenti"

"I hate who's indifferent: I live, I'm a partisan. So I hate those who do not take a stand, I hate the indifferent."

(Antonio Gramsci, founder of the Italian Communist Party, dead in fascist prisons)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met several people travelling during the last year with Couch Surfing: some of them really changed the perspective of my trip, maybe of the entire experience. Actually, I've been hosted just 2 times, and I've never hosted anyone because for now I can't. Sometimes I enjoy CS events.

italian films from fellini, bertolucci etc

mute (buster keaton, chaplin's etc)
quentin tarantino and those disgusting, trashy and genial b - movies that have inspired such "er monnezza" or "napoli violenta"!

I love Jane Austen and all of those heavy, boring, marvellous novels as from Mikajil Bulgakov, the Master and Margaret (my favourite book ever!)
Marcel Proust, Dostoevskij, Kundera, Hrabal, Céline and Italo Calvino

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm always embarrassed by questions like this.

Teach, Learn, Share

learn:
I'm opened to almost everything, because other people always fascinates my and I think I'm good listener.

teach:
- how to prepare a real neapolitan coffee;
- where you can eat and drink well in naples spending the less you can;
- boring and disgusting things about how your inner body works and why your mind plays tricks on you.
