I'm a wanderer based on the clouds. I'm waiting for the teletransportation to be invented, but in the meanwhile, I'm pretty pleased with wheels, trains and planes.
I love direct people, gelato, snow, tan, americano coffee and running.
I don't like easy things, asking for help, people who talk too close to your face, when my feet are cold, pink, long nails and mayo.
My favourite quote is: "You must want something with all your strenght. Then, you must do it." Mae West
YES, THIS MUST BE THE PLACE
As I saw the playbill, I decided I really had to watch “This must be the place”. Sean Penn with a tousled black wig, dark eyeliner and red lipstick: simply unmissable.
Cheyenne is a 50-years-old retired rock star that still makes up every day as he did in his 20s. Bored, depressed and constantly dazed for the drugs he has taken in his past, he lives in a rich villa in Dublin and hobbles around dragging an inconvenient shopping trolley.
No interests, no vitality, no passion. His hilariously masculine wife Jane, a low-target Latin lover, a depressed friend and her teenage daughter are the only contacts he has with the world.
For the first half of the movie, I was impatient and unsatisfied, because the only liveliness came from a peppy Frances McDormand, in the part of Cheyenne’s wife, who works as a firewoman and destroys him when they play pelota in the empty pool of their garden.
But eventually peace changed: Cheyenne goes to visit his dying father in New York, but arrives too late. After 30 years of missing, he finds out that his dad was obsessed with a nazi-man who humiliated him in a concentration camp, and decides to take over the search.
AN AMERICAN CORNER IN THE HEART OF FLORENCE
The image of a person eating a massive burger can do crazy jokes sometimes – like making a healthy-maniac having a hearty lunch in the middle of a sunny afternoon.
We were walking around the centre of Florence at 4 pm on Saturday and as we bumped into via dell’Acqua, the hunger took control of both of us: we couldn’t resister to the smell of burgers and the sight of a large dish of pithy meat on a table outside The Diner.
All it took was a glance at my partner and we were in. Pink floors, red benches and white lamps made the small room look very movie-like and totally American.

THE DANGER BEHIND OVERSIZE FOREARMS
Home arrest for the Italian bodybuilder who risked his life for doping
A well-known Italian bodybuilder has been released from jail because he needs treatments against an overdose of anabolic steroids– the same he was arrested for pushing.
Daniele Seccarecci, 31, gave himself up last Wednesday, as he came back after an international competition in Las Vegas. Convicted for pushing steroids in gyms, he was inmate in the San Vittore jail of Milan, but he has now been released because of health problems.
According to the doctors, Mr Seccarecci didn’t have enough active principles to balance the doping and held all the liquids back, putting on up to five kilos in less than a week. Therefore, he was declared unfit for jail and will spend his conviction at home, where he will follow a compensation therapy. Other two people are at house arrest for the same inquest and a man is still fugitive.
STILL INTERNSHIP
The Italian crisis seen from postgraduate students in Milan
How long do today’s youths have to study to reach their career goals? How much internship do they need to do before getting a job? These are the questions everyone was wondering to ask at the Career day, yesterday at the public University of Milan.
The event was made to put in contact students and recruiter from different companies. Danone, L’Oréal, McDonald’s, Polymedia, Allianz, Birra Peroni were some of the 100 national and international brands represented in the main cloister of the building. At 11.30, young people asking for consultation and leaving CVs surrounded every stand.
Monica, 22-years-old student of marketing, was totally excited: “I wish I printed more copies of my CV, I’d give it to half the desks here!” However, a part from her and a few second-year-students, disappointment was in the air.
Applying for as many positions as possible is one of the most popular strategies. Sadly, the competition is so high that you never know how many companies will respond. “They told me they’ll let me know as soon as possible, but I don’t know if they’ll even look at my profile,” said Francesco, 24, student of pharmacy.
