who am I? Although this website, together with the Project, is currently sleeping, I will update my profile regularly. Italian, in Berlin since april 2008. Critical, healthy, dreamer, musician, ecologist, trash-lover, nerdish, punkish, hippy. In love with noises. My interests in the project - Currently living in Berlin, in a place called The Cinema. It´s a regular flatshare with some community living aspects. - Lived in a flat named Big Pink House. Besides without any co-housing project behind, Big Pink can be considered the prototype for a hospitality project: being 5 permanent (although it doesn't mean a fixed group/number) residents active on hospitality networks (CouchSurfing, HospitalityClub), we used to host a lot of people, mainly travelers. Exploring the possibilities of permanent hospitality is one of my current goals. - I'm interested in de-growth, alternative/ethical ways of life, sustainable development, critical consumption. Small self-managed communities are the base and the minimal unit for ethical living. - I'm interested in developing creative projects dal basso (="from the bottom"): it means without many resources, despite any academical/official cultural background. Learning/Sharing -"3 Rs" philosophy: they actually are 4: reduce, reuse, recycle and repair. - music: I'm an experimental musician, I make noise. - cooking: my interests in food are from healthy stuff to junk food. I cook vegetarian. - antropology/sociology: religions, politics, ethnology, cultural science; I'm a social animal interested in everything is social. - fortunetelling: it's just a game, but an interesting one. I read tarots and use a pendulum. Moving in? I won't be among the people moving in. Big Pink is incredibly cheap and somehow still interesting as an "alternative WG". Of course, it doesn't mean I cannot have an active part in the project.
