Born in Venice 1963,
moved to Rome in 1993 for “sentimental” reasons, then in Milano for working reasons.
I live near Lodi ( 40 km south east of Milano)in a country village ( 542 ab. including the cows…)

Married with Giuseppina (she’s from Rome…)and I have two kids ( the heirs to my plastic empire):Lorenzo age 16, and Andrea (in Italy it’s a male name..)age 10.

I actually work as a night porter at the Hotel Rafael in Milano, but I must say that over there my main role is plastic modeller…lucky me!

Main interests are:

Music: Rock, from Led Zeppelin to Metallica
Jazz, from Weather Report to John Coltrane
R’n’B, from Mary J Blige to R.Kelly
And many more…
But if I have to save only one of my almost 1800 LP’s on my I Pod ,I’ll go with LED ZEPPELIN II

Books: favourite writers are : Asimov,Clarke,Clancy,Cussler,Robinson,Deaver,Faletti and many more ( I really love to read)

Sports: Strangely as an Italian I really don’t like football (soccer for the US)and my favourite sport is….Rugby!! Obviously I’m an Italy fan but my heart is 50% divided with the Gods of rugby, the All Blacks!!
Other sports I like are basketball(I’ve used to play when I was young..)and baseball.
Actually the only sport I practice is the tv channel zapping ( I’m a big champ on that!!!)

But I’m also on a Softair team named Branco Selvaggio (Wild Gang),where my usual position is as a scout .Sometimes I also play the role of sniper (in that case I usually climb trees and do my “job”)

Main modelling interest are …all the IDF tracked vehicles, and practically all the modern tanks with a preference on the Russian stuff because they are really nice to build with all that ERA tiles and wading systems. I have also few planes (less than a dozen)brought them mainly for sentimental reasons ( they remind me my youthness).
