Basically, a good guy.
Honest, steady, curious, a bit old-fashioned and very (and I mean very) romantic.
Owner of a beloved splendid (though a bit unruly) Alsatian.
And as you can see, not very photogenic (sigh).

Willing to start a political career after having spent most of my life in science.

learning (especially languages)
making romance the good ol' way
debating ideas
taking care of the people I love
being committed to what I believe in.

a certain lack of hair, I guess

Weber, Science as a Vocation and Politics as a Vocation, the landmarks of my past and present life, respectively.
I like crime books a lot, especially Nero Wolfe in English, Montalbano in Italian and Maigret in French.

All films by Sordi. Ce manchi, Albertone!
Recently, I liked Lincoln a lot.

Classical music, but only the romantic composers (especially Russians).
Queen for rock, Bublé for swing, some Italian pop singers.

Italian Food. Period. I've lived abroad and it was the only thing that I really missed.

Music
Thinking
Knowledge in every its form
Politics
Art and culture
Italian food

too many things to write them down here. Actually, I think too much.

Update: plans about my next trip (US - East Coast)

you have found something interesting/curious about me, of course!
And if I messaged you, definitely. Even to say a simple 'No thanks'. Because the guy who wrote you isn't a badass and complete silence is a practice as common (alas!) as impolite, at least for me.
