About Me


A day without a smile is a wasted day Charlie Chaplin


Life Is Beautiful (Lyrics by Noa, Music by Nicola Piovani)
Smile, without a reason why / Love, as if you were a child / Smile, no matter what they tell you / Don't listen to a word they say /Cause life is beautiful that way.
Tears, a tidal wave of tears / Light, that slowly disappears / Wait, before you close the curtain / There is still another game to play / And life is beautiful that way.
Here with his eyes forevermore / I will always be as close as you remember from before / Now that you're out there on your own / Remember what is real and what we dream is love alone / Keep the laughter in you eyes / Soon your long awaited prize / We'll forget about our sorrows / And think about a brighter day / Cause life is beautiful that way.
We'll forget about our sorrows / And think about a brighter day / Cause life is beautiful that way / There's still another game to play / And life is beautiful that way.

(Io) Sono nato a Benevento, il 6 Febbraio del 1974. Di Mercoledì, il giorno consacrato a Mercurio: il portatore della conoscenza.
(Me) I was born in Benevento (south Italy), on February the 6th 1974. It was Wednesday, the day consecrated to Mercury: the bringer of knowledge.
(Cosa farò da grande) Avrei voluto essere un attore comico, un ciclista e un filosofo. Invece, esco, vedo gente, scrivo e faccio fotografie. E non so nulla del mio domani.
(What I'll do with myself) I'd liked to be a comic actor, a biker and a philosopher. Instead, I go out, I meet people, I write and I shoot photos. And I know nothing about my tomorrow.
(Mao, il mio gatto) Non ho né fratelli né sorelle. Ma ho avuto un bellissimo gatto rosso, che è stato il mio migliore amico.
(Mao, my cat) I've no brothers or sisters. But I had a beautiful red cat, who has been my best friend.
(La Batteria) Avevo 17 anni e un amico alto quasi due metri. Lui non c’è più, ma l’amore per la batteria lo ha lasciato a me.
(Drumming) I was 17 Y.O. and I had a friend taller than 6 feet. He's not with us anymore. But his being in love with drumming has been his heritage for me.
(La Vita parte I) Se la vita è un gioco c’è qualcuno là fuori che mi spiega le regole?
(Life part I) If life is a game, is there anybody out able to explains the rules to me?
(La Vita parte II) Vorrei essere un gatto, ed essere in grado di camminare sopra i tetti della vita.
(Life part II) I'd like to be a cat, and being able to walk on by the rooftops of life.
(Vita parte III) Non andare contro la vita. Lascia che sia lei incontro a te.
(Life part III) Do not go against life. Let it comes to you.
(Vita parte IV) La differenza tra il sogno e la realtà non è in quanto sono chiusi i tuoi occhi. Ma in quanto è aperta la tua mente.
(Life part IV) The difference between dream and reality doesn't consist in how close are your eyes. But in how opened is your mind.
(Vita parte V) Non abbiamo le ali per volare, ma tutta una vita per imparare che il cielo è bellissimo anche da qui.
(Life part V) We have no wings to fly, but all the lifetime to learn that the sky is beautiful even from down here.
(Vita parte VI) Un'assenza è solo uno spazio tra due essenze.
(Life part VI) An absence is just a space between two essences.

You are born with potential / You are born with goodness and trust / You are born with ideals and dreams / You are born with greatness / You are born with wings / You are not meant for crawling, so don't do it. / You have wings / Learn to use them, and fly.


You are The Hermit

Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.

The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.

The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.


You Are 82% Tortured Genius
You totally fit the profile of a tortured genius. You're uniquely brilliant - and completely misunderstood.
Not like you really want anyone to understand you anyway. You're pretty happy being an island. Are You a Tortured Genius?

I wish you all the things you desire, my beautiful little cousin.



No pain, no sorrow: just frozen in you beauty, forever!



I'd like to meet:

Un dì, s’io non andrò sempre fuggendo / di gente in gente

(Ugo Foscolo)

"Silence is the true friend that never betrays"

(Confucio)



Chi lascia che tutto sia. Chi non violenta il volere per volare più in alto. Chi sa che ad ogni conoscenza corrisponde un dolore. Chi impara, per poi dimenticare tutto. Chi dimentica tutto, per poi imparare un’altra volta. Chi è ricco, ma solo dei propri sogni. Chi crede ancora che ci sia un posto, da qualche parte, aldilà dell’arcobaleno.(M. C.)

Who lets it all be. Who doesn’t rape the will to fly higher. Who knows that for each knowledge there is a pain. Who learns, to forget everything. Who forgets everything, to learn one more time. Who is rich, but only of his (or her) dreams. Who still believes that there is a place, somewhere, over the rainbow.(M.C.)

**********************************************************

Lavora come se non avessi bisogno di soldi. Ama come se non fossi mai stato ferito. Balla come se nessuno ti vedesse.

Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody is watching.

**********************************************************

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime...
