Things I love

The starry sky over Adriatic islands, volleyball, Francesco Totti in high school, jamón ibérico, big earrings, Turkish soap operas, Botticelli’s Three Graces, watermelon in +35°C, ancient Rome, baking cakes, Dino Merlin, gin and tonic with friends, Pavlova cake, emotional moments, beautiful handwriting, and clouds that hold hope.

I’m not a big fan of: Gambling, people lacking empathy, beer, gossiping, or missing the small miracles around us.
