Well, some people here are asking me to tell something more personal about Massimiliano.
I was born and live in Ancona, Marche, Italy. The same region of Valentino Rossi (don't tell me you don't know who he is!).
I'm open minded, I like to know interesting people, but when it comes to speak about my private life, I think a search engine friendly network is not the best place to do it.
To show the real Max I need to know personally someone. Surely I won't let the world know who I really am with a Google click.
But something can be outed.
Nobody calls me "Massimiliano": too long! All my friends call me "Max". I got this nickname my first day at the High School: my German teacher (an iron woman) told me: "Ab heute wirst du Max heißen!". So everybody started to call me in that way. Until that day I had been "Massi", at least for my family.
I like nice people and simple things, like a walk on a beach, a sunshine, exploring a new city, Tuscany valleys. By the way, I love Tuscany wines and food.
I like travelling and entering in contact with other cultures. When I was a boy, every summer, I was travelling all around Europe with my InterRail card, a little money, thousands of friends, a guitar. Basically my character is not really changed, even if getting older you start to appreciate comforts. But I will never be luxury addicted. I spend one month every summer in Corsica, camping and driving around.
I was Author and Actor for a MTV Italy TV Alfa Romeo Spot. Really a silly (someone found it funny) thing, but I was so stupidly proud of it that I published it at YouTube, and now I'm not more able to remove it from all its web clones. It's been viewed at least by 260.000 people! A real tragedy, also because I was making fun of myself in the spot, but especially because when I played it I was a bit overweight. Now I'm under-overweight again.
I wrote short novels. One, "Revelations", was written in 1987 and published in a local magazine. Many years later, watching "The Million Dollar Hotel", I realized that the first and last 5 minutes of the movie were exactly like my novel! Really weird, because I'd taken my inspiration from a scene of "Der Himmel über Berlin", always by Wim Wenders.
I played soccer with Ancona Calcio (1972-1980), athletics with Endas Ancona (1973-1980) and CUS Ancona (1980-1982), football with Ancona Dolphins (1982-1984).
Some of my hobbies now are traveling, skiing, guitar playing (or something similar), photography.
My sun is in Taurus, my ascendent in Scorpion, my moon in Cancer (if you believe in it, I don't. I'm an engineer!).
My favorite book are "El Aleph" by Borges (it contains "La casa de Asterión", my favorite novel) and "Invisible Monsters" by Chuck Palahniuk.
My favorite movie directors are (were) Krzysztof Kieslowski and Stanley Kubrick.
My favorite movies are "La Double vie de Véronique", "A Clockwork Orange", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".
My favorite music band are (were) Blur and Radiohead (but only until they were able to create songs like "Karma Police" and "Creep").
My actual car is a Land Rover Freelander Sport TD4. Black, outside and inside. After this one there will only be a new Land Rover, and so on, forever. But I will always keep the older ones.
I have lived in different periods of my life in Germany and Slovakia.
I speak Italian, English and (at least once I did) German. I understand without big problems written Spanish and Portuguese, being a Latin. Slovak has too many consonants for my taste, so I only know the numbers and a bunch of useful words (and all the bad ones).
Well, that was more than enough, I guess.
