Welcome!
Welcome
to this (hopefully) growing recreational area of my home page. Exactly
as for the professional area, you will notice
the same lack of special effects. Yet, thanks to the comics and motorcycle
sections, here we will be a little more colourful :-)
And now a tentative list of interests
I will try to address here:
-
Tourism: Venice, The Lakes of Lombardy,
The Mountains in northern Italy and Motorcycle tours
-
Present day Science: Cosmology, the
arrow of time, quantum mechanics, gravitation, artificial intelligence,
towards a theory of consciousness...
-
Religion: Christianity and "Nothing-Special"
Zen Buddhism.
-
Music: Baroque composers and other
musical interests.

Un viaggio a Tokyo e in Giappone:
Cronaca illustrata. Questa parte verrà ulteriormente ampliata presto:
sono stato invitato a presentare alcuni risultati dalla Hitotsubashi University
di Tokyo (marzo 2002, 2003 e 2004) e ho colto l'occasione per visitare
Kyoto e Nara, Hakone-Fuji, e altre parti di Tokyo. Nel 2002 ho anche avuto
la fortuna di arrivare durante la fioritura dei ciliegi.
I would like this page to appear as
a tribute to some of the above topics... a tribute given by an amateur,
of course. My contribution can be professional only for the specific subjects
dealt with in the professional area, but in this
personal area I am just trying to "share the fun". Indeed, the approach
to all of the above topics will be quite informal, so if you are an expert
or even a professional in such areas, bear with me... Finally, filling
this page will take time... in the meantime, I hope you enjoy what is already
there. If you have any constructive comments (constructive means that you
are not too critical :-)) you would like to express, just drop a couple
of lines at one of the following addresses:
