Time Spent Abroad
In Milan since 1997.

Current Occupation
Organize scientific conventions via PC (don't go anymore thanks to technology) This allows me to have time to do what I love most: write children's stories and novels for adults. A theatrical piece of mine has just been published. Teaching English to Italian teenagers and giving computer lessons to friends fills up the rest of the working day (which is never long enough).

Interests
Cooking is my favorite past-time, eating up my "culinary experiments" with friends is the other. I try and come up with ideas to earn money for good causes. But what I love most is being around friends doing sports or simply...chatting.

EuroCircle Insights
I joined Eurocircle in June 2003 when it was opened by Barbara Mazzoni; she then left for London and I took over in October 2003. I run a monthly Happy Hour and dinner with an international mix of profs in their 30-50s with the help of my friends Elisabetta Zarone, Giovanni Terzi and Filippo Cattaneo.

Goals and Beliefs
Life is like a mirror: if you frown at it, it frowns back. If you smile at it, it returns the greeting.
