My activity gives me the opportunity to contact 194 different countries, 204 international islands and 17 lighthouses, as confirmed.

I have other interests but my family comes before of all, of course.
I like listening music (particularly Rock of '60 and '70) and playing guitar (classic, folk and electric). I also like singing every kind of music; I was a singer in a polyphonic choir (as tenor), a few years ago.
I play tennis, soccer and swimming, as amateur.
I adore travelling on "pleinair", without any kind of constriction. Infact, I went camping for several years. We owned also a small "camper" and we have visited a lot of our beautiful Italian regions and several European countries.

My website has been created as a joke, in a few months and without useful notions. I did it during a lot of lunch pauses, at work. I captured the base idea from the Gruppo Marconi’s website; the graphic solutions come from several “web” free resources. I know that the final result is quite simple and not professional but I am proud to say that it is self-made, completely.
Thank you for your visiting my website and don't forget to sign my guestbook!! It will be my pleasure to write you back.
