About Me

Why a penpal? Out of sheer curiosity. I want to talk to deep, smart, good people who don't breathe the same Italian air that I breathe every day; I want an enriching exchange, in which I can talk about anything - even about serious matters, like philosophy, religion, art, literature. You think you want to try? Go ahead and write me! =)

PS: I'm currently enrolled at University of Pavia, studying Linguistics, and loving every second of it.

Requests

No particular requests other than the ones I've written above.

Hobbies & Interests

Can't decide whether I was born photographer, writer or pianist.
I've been playing the piano since I was 3, and I'm still working on getting something good out of my baby grand!! But I love Classical music. I think you have a classical piece when people listen to it and cry, laugh, or simply feel something even centuries after the piece was written. A very wise writer once said: "a classical work of art is something that never runs out of new things to communicate".

I sure am an avid reader.

Favorite Music

Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Guns'n'Roses, Muse, The Cranberries, Sigur Ros, Jacques Loussier, Leonard Cohen. But also the music I play: Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Liszt and Chopin.

Favorite Movies

Favorite Quotes

The world is a book and he who does not travel reads only a page. (St.Augustine)

Hopeless emptiness. Now you've said it. Plenty of people are onto the emptiness, but it takes real guts to see the hopelessness. (from the movie Revolutionary Road)

Vindica te tibi: tempus tantum nostrum est (take your life back: only time is ours). (Seneca)

Spem longam reseces. Dum loquimur, fugerit inuida
aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.
(Horatio)
