I was born and raised in Napoli where I grew up eating pizza, reading books and manga, playing guitar, and, most importantly, wondering about abstractness during my BSc, MSc, and PhD at the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II under the supervision of G. Marmo.

Music

I like music and I used to play guitar.

I recorded the EP Via Soffritto  neapolitan rock-blues band ArtRePaz. I was the lead guitar and we had a lot of fun before the bitterness of life chewed to death our rock ’n roll dreams.

I also have a Bandcamp page I seldomly update. There is no logic, nor beauty, nor any kind of sense in it, but I like it nonetheless.
