Personal interests
From 1997 to 2007 I studied Cello at Scuola Civica di Musica of Cernusco sul Naviglio, Milano, Italy. I am currently learning to play guitar in my spare time.
I am interested in politics and finance. I love reading, especially classics; listen to both classical and contemporary music; I am fond of theatre and movies. I am deeply interested in painting and sculpture, and generally in arts. I love sports, I often play soccer and regularly enjoy physical activities.
I am regularly involved in voluntary work. In Philadelphia, I took part in the activities of Philabundance, devoted to the collection of food for people in need. While in Madrid, I joined charitable works for homeless people. In Zürich, I participated in gratuitous activities of child-caring.
