Other Stuff
If you see me around and you are not in the mood for discussing research I’d be happy to chat about any of the following topics!
Music
I really spend a lot of time listening to music, mostly music that people labels as noise, e.g., extreme subgenres of metal and punk.
I also play electric guitar, but only fast stuff. I have been dreaming of having a band for years, but my life as a researcher prevents this from happening.
As a consequence of all of this, I go to a lot of concerts and support the underground scene.
You can find my:
Films
In addition to music, my other great passion is films. I especially like to explore Italian and Asian films, without any particular genre preferences.
Just to give a taste of my tastes, some of my favorites are “Per qualche dollaro in più”, “The Big Lebowski”, “Tremors” and “Visitor Q”.
DIY ethic
Being a metalhead/punk comes with stick to the DIY (Do It Yourself) ethic. I really like to craft by myself a lot of stuff, mainly t-shirts, patches and clothing in general.
I plan to start a graphic design project too.
Minor hobbies
Even though I spend less time on it than on the things mentioned above, I also like to play videogames, to cook (especially dishes from my culture) and last but not least I’m passionate about history and linguistics.
