"Perhaps the only thing I knew for sure was this: I was named Mattia Pascal." This quotation by Pirandello is the first thing that came to my mind when I got to this About Me section. I'm not named Mattia Pascal, and that's about all I can tell you without lying. So let's start describing the biggest changes ever occurred in my existence. The biggest of them was graduating from my Humanities High School in July 2009. It's a school where they basically try to kill you with absurd amounts of homework, but the result of this hard education is a pretty good mental shape for university and the ability to face practically any challenge in future life. I mean, if you manage to get out of my school without attempting/committing suicide, then you're fine^^ So you can understand the sense of freedom I felt right after graduation: now I'm 19 and more than ready to start my freshman year at the Literature Department, University of Pavia. Second big change: winning the Schifanoia-Este 2008 literary prize with the only story I have finished: "The Bells of Novgorod". See, to kill my free time I enjoy writing, but I rarely get to finish a story. Heck, the fun part is the incipit, the opening of new worlds that didn't even exist before you decided it was time for them to exist! THAT is fun. And to see that my only finished story actually made sense to others was a good feeling. :) Third big change: winning the Gandini 2009 Photography prize. When I don't feel like writing, I take up my Canon and go out shooting. Actually I feel more like a photographer than like a writer. I love how just pushing that little button on my camera steals a short moment of eternity from the flow of memory and time. And it's always nice to see that other photographers appreciated my work, really. I think the biggest thing about art is that it really connects people way more than any other media. What else. After months of meditation I have come to the momentary conclusion that I am neither Catholic nor Christian. I follow my own creed and too bad if nobody else shares it. God is rule, God is harmony, the more we seek God the more we feel in harmony with the Whole. I know it makes no sense right now: just ask me about it, I'm always up for that kind of conversation. And what about my future? Nothing but fog. All I know is that I don't want to open a math book ever again. Never. Ever.

Art in every form, especially literature, paintings and music. On my bedside table, usually, there's a Terry Pratchett novel together with stuff like Tolstoj or pretty much anything from the XIX sec, which I especially love
