Personal Stuffs

The "Parla Come Te Magni!" database (i.e. funny mistakes in italian language):
get the WHOLE data base
NB: new funny mistakes are welcome, provided that you have really heard them! Send me a message: they will be inserted anonimously!
From decades I enjoy playing music and singing in the Laboratorio Musicale choir
Recently I've discovered the world of sailing:
here on board of Kiwi, my old but strong snipe, while sailing on the Caldonazzo lake (TN, Italy) A nice snipe-sailing initiative is gardasnipe .
Dancing Latin music is very nice, in particular Caribbean dances (Salsa y Merengue)!
A nice starting point for Italians is here one of the best italian site on Salsa.
Some friends in the world...
