Nicknames: Bellin
Height: 1.93 m
Weight: mah...
Character: Quite quiet, ironic and sarcastic (most people don't really get - or totally misunderstand - my sense of humor at first). Not very patient, but if the person deserves it, I do try my best :)
Style: So casual that casual isn't quite the right word for it :)
I've never had a tie, and I'm proud of it.
I did wear a suit in a couple of occasions though
Bio: I grew up in a small city (village is a more proper term, actually), but left it as soon as I could for Bologna. Now I'm considering moving again to a smaller city...and I'm still young to retire! Life is strange sometimes...
Work: I work as a software developer, consultant, trainer and author. In other words, I do everything around computers...
Education: Some college after the high school, but for the most part I study books and take classes on my own.
Languages: Italian, English...would like to learn Spanish as well but time is never enough
Likes: My girlfriend Lucia. But besides this, truth and honesty above all. If I can't rely on a person and trust him/her, I won't probably really respect him/her.
Dislikes: Lies, of course. People that would do everything to get some sort of advantages. People that act like they are experts (in their work, but also about something else) while in reality they don't have a clue about what they're talking about...and just repeat things they've heard by someone else (typically mispresenting them).
Interests: Books, movies, dogs...and of course everything technology-related!
Books: Thrillers for the most part, but I'm getting addicted to historical stories as well. I like Patricia Cornwell, Ken Follet, Michael Connelly, Jeffery Deaver and many others
Music: A bit of everything, but especially Jazz lately. I just reject Electronic music, Disco and Dance. Leave it to the loosers! (ok, just kidding, take it easy...well not really kidding, ok...)
Movies: Everything with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, my myths! But my cult movies of all times is definitely "My name is Trinity" with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. My cat Mescal is actually named after the boss of the Mexican thieves of that film
Sport: I played basked and swimmed...but that was ages ago! I recently purchased a tread mill...only time will tell if I'll every use it ;)
Favorite Cusine: Italian, without a doubt. Pizza, pasta (carbonara), lasagne, piadine! Looking abroad, I like French Gouffres and Indian Kebab
Drinks: Mojto, Amaretto di Saranno and Sambuca. Something non-alcoholic you ask? Lemon tea and Coca Cola.
