In my past I painted and played bass (sometimes I play it yet).
I like go fishing, swimming, mountain atmosphere...drinking chocolate and tea during rainy days, reading books and comic strips (especially 'peanuts') before falling asleep.
I enjoy fighting videogames (tekken, street fighter) althought I've not so much free time to play; and I like fighting in general (martial arts or simply kicking a sponge ball).
Overall I enjoy programming software, knowledge management and web developing...I'm also interested in network security and open source but I don't know yet very much about these two last subjects :p
I listen to different kinds of music depending on my humour:
classic music (johann Sebastian Bach, Chopin, Schubert, Maria Callas), heavy and prog metal (Judas Priest, Queensryche, Megadeth, Racer X, Symphony X, Evolution, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Steve Vai, Malmsteen), Queen, Anthrax, drum'n bass, psychedelic and goa trance (Infected mushroom, Dieselboy).
I COMPLETELY HATE POP, JAZZ AND FUSION. gggghhh :p

Heroes
GIOVANNI FALCONE, PAOLO BORSELLINO, ROBERTO SAVIANO
It seems strange but often a phrase has the power to make you feel and live better.
If you fight every moment of your life to realize your dreams never giving up, well you are a hero.
If you're enough hungry and enough foolish to never stop acquiring more knowledge and trying to apply new ideas, well you are a hero.
"The artist holds every existing thing in universe - wether real or living only in his mind - at first within his spirit, and then within his hands."
------------
"Tutto quello che esiste nell'universo, si tratti di cose reali o presenti solo nella sua immaginazione, l'artista l'ha dapprima nel suo spirito e poi nelle sue mani." (Leonardo Da Vinci)
"I have found that if you love life, life will love you back" (Artur Rubenstein)
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" (Maya Angelou)
"Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition"(Timothy Leary)
"Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profundity. Kindness in giving creates love" (Lao-Tse)
"To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you sombody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting." (E.E. Cummings)
"The most part of an angel lies in his interior. The most part of a human lies in his exterior."(Ann from "Mr.God this is Ann" by Fynn)
Il tuo sorriso
(Pablo Neruda)
Toglimi il pane, se vuoi,
toglimi l'aria, ma
non togliermi il tuo sorriso.
Non togliermi la rosa,
la lancia che sgrani,
l'acqua che d'improvviso
scoppia nella tua gioia,
la repentina onda
d'argento che ti nasce.
Dura è la mia lotta e torno
con gli occhi stanchi,
a volte, d'aver visto
la terra che non cambia,
ma entrando il tuo sorriso
sale al cielo cercandomi
ed apre per me tutte
le porte della vita.
Amor mio, nell'ora
più oscura sgrana
il tuo sorriso, e se d'improvviso
vedi che il mio sangue macchia
le pietre della strada,
ridi, perché il tuo riso
sarà per le mie mani
come una spada fresca.
Vicino al mare, d'autunno,
il tuo riso deve innalzare
la sua cascata di spuma,
e in primavera, amore,
voglio il tuo riso come
il fiore che attendevo,
il fiore azzurro, la rosa
della mia patria sonora.
Riditela della notte,
del giorno, della luna,
riditela delle strade
contorte dell'isola,
riditela di questo rozzo
ragazzo che ti ama,
ma quando apro gli occhi
e quando li richiudo,
quando i miei passi vanno,
quando tornano i miei passi,
negami il pane, l'aria,
la luce, la primavera,
ma il tuo sorriso mai,
perché io ne morrei.
(di Pablo Neruda)
“Nowaday there's only one thing that sounds important to me: waking up the interest towards the creative work, considering it an usual habit and teaching to overcome difficulties that are nothing compared with this aim for which we fight.
(Oggi una sola cosa mi sembra importante: risvegliare il desiderio verso il lavoro creativo, renderlo un’abitudine e insegnare a superare le difficoltà, che sono nulla a paragone di questo obiettivo per il quale si lotta.)”
(by Friedl Dikers-Brandeis mentre era internata nel campo di sterminio di Therensiestadt, dove insegnava a disegnare ai bambini prigionieri.)
“La differenza tra dittatura e democrazia è che in democrazia prima si vota e poi si prendono ordini, in dittatura non dobbiamo sprecare il nostro tempo andando a votare.” Charles Bukowski (1920-1994)scrittore americano
(The difference between dictature and democracy is that in democracy at first we vote and then we follow orders; in dictature we don't have to waste our time voting.)
“La politica è una faccenda troppo seria per essere lasciata ai politici.” Charles De Gaulle (1890-1970), statista francese.
(Politics is a too serious thing to leave it in politician hands)
“Dato che un politico non crede mai in ciò che dice, resta sorpreso quando gli altri ci credono.” Charles De Gaulle (1890-1970), statista francese.
(A politician is surprised when others believe in what he says because he just never believes in it.)
“Il governo è come tutte le cose del mondo: per conservarlo bisogna amarlo.” Charles De Montesquieu (1689-1755), filosofo francese.
(Government is as everything in the world: to keep it we need to love it)
“La differenza tra un politico ed uno statista sta nel fatto che il politico pensa alle prossime elezioni lo statista alle prossime generazioni.” Alcide Degasperi (1881-1954), uomo politico e statista italiano.
(The difference between a politician and a statistician is that a politician thinks about the next election and a statistician thinks about the next generation)
“Se l’umanità non progredisce nella stessa misura in tutte le parti del mondo la responsabilità non è della scienza, ma dell’ignoranza dei benefici che se ne possono trarre e delle cattive scelte politiche.” Norberto Bobbio
(if humanity does not develop equally in every region of the world, science is not to blame: ignorancy about the benefits derived from this developing as bad politic choices, are to blame.)
“Ho dovuto studiare la politica e la guerra in modo che i miei figli possano studiare la matematica e la filosofia.” John Adams
(I had to study politics and war in order to let my sons study mathematics and filosophy)
“In ogni caso la causa della rivolta è l’ineguaglianza.”Aristotele
(The cause of the rebellion is always the inequality)
Life is a stream of consciousness and my personal greatest entertainment consists in achieving goals...so "find your limits and get over it".
I'm fond of Computer Science, especially regarding Semantic Web, Web2.0 and knowledge management. I like every creative activity, such as modelling wood, create bijoux (even if I don't use them very much ^_^) painting and so on. I've painted some pictures too, in my past. My dream for the next future is to live with my boyfriend (Antonio) in a little house made of wood in a city plent of nature: lakes, trees, gross, parks, suggestive landscapes and so on.

I'd like to meet people WHO THINKS BIG.

Voi che vivete sicuri
Nelle vostre tiepide case,
Voi che trovate tornando a sera
Il cibo caldo e visi amici:
Considerate se questo è un uomo
Che lavora nel fango
Che non conosce pace
Che lotta per mezzo pane
Che muore per un si o per un no.
Considerate se questa è una donna,
Senza capelli e senza nome
Senza più forza di ricordare
Vuoti gli occhi e freddo il grembo
Come una rana d’inverno.
Meditate che questo è stato:
Vi comando queste parole.
Scolpitele nel vostro cuore
Stando in casa andando per via,
Coricandovi alzandovi;
Ripetetele ai vostri figli.
O vi si sfaccia la casa,
La malattia vi impedisca,
I vostri nati torcano il viso da voi.

MUSIC PREFERENCES
Generally I like heavy and progressive metal, goa and psytrance, classic and lyric music, celtic gregorian and some african music. I like a very melting pot of genres, depending on my humour, but there are three genres I really HATE: jazz, pop, fusion.
