Staying Up to Date with Joomla!

I was born and live in Ancona, Marche, Italy.
I'm open minded, I like to know interesting people.

Nobody calls me "Massimiliano": too long! All my friends call me "Max". I got this nickname my first day at the High School: my German teacher (an iron woman) told me: "Ab heute wirst du Max heißen!". So everybody started to call me in that way. Until that day I had been "Massi", at least for my family.

I like nice people and simple things, like a walk on a beach, a sunshine, exploring a new city, Tuscany valleys. By the way, I love Tuscany wines and food.
I like travelling and entering in contact with other cultures. When I was a boy, every summer, I was travelling all around Europe with my InterRail card, a little money, thousands of friends, a guitar. Basically my character is not really changed, even if getting older you start to appreciate comforts. But I will never be luxury addicted. I spend one month every summer in Corsica, camping and driving around.

I was Author and Actor for a MTV Italy TV Alfa Romeo Spot. Really a silly (someone found it funny) thing, but I was so stupidly proud of it that I published it at YouTube, and now I'm not more able to remove it from all its web clones. It's been viewed at least by 260.000 people! It's really difficult to understand why people were watching it. Probably because I titled it "Banned MTV spot" - even if it had never been banned, of course.

I wrote short novels (in Italian) and published them at a local magazine (and a couple of years ago also online). One of them, "Rivelazione", was written in 1987. Many years later, watching "The Million Dollar Hotel", I realized that the first and last 5 minutes of the movie were exactly like my novel! Really weird, because I was inspired by a scene of "Der Himmel über Berlin": again, a Wim Wenders movie!

I played soccer, football, gymnastics, athletics, and something else just for fun (kayak, ski, karate, bike, diving, swimming, snorkeling).
Some of my hobbies are traveling, skiing, guitar playing (or something similar), photography. The most recent is networking (of course!).
My sun is in Taurus, my ascendent in Scorpion, my moon in Cancer (if you believe in it, I don't. I'm an engineer!).
My favorite book are "El Aleph" by Borges (it contains "La casa de Asterión", my favorite novel) and "Invisible Monsters" by Chuck Palahniuk.
My favorite movie directors are (were) Krzysztof Kieslowski and Stanley Kubrick.
My favorite movies are "La Double vie de Véronique", "A Clockwork Orange", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "Das Leben der Anderen".
My favorite music band are (were) Blur and Radiohead (but only until they were able to create songs like "Karma Police" and "Creep"). In these last weeks I have discovered DeVotchKa, and I am becoming addicted to their music.
My actual car is a Land Rover Freelander Sport TD4. Black, outside and inside. After this one there will only be a new Land Rover, and so on, forever. But I will always keep the older ones.

I have lived in different periods of my life in Germany and Slovakia.
I speak Italian, English and (at least once I did) German. I understand without big problems written Spanish, Portuguese and French, being a Latin. A long time ago I could speak a little Swedish, but since I was never using it after I was 20, I forgot almost everyting. Slovak has too many consonants for my taste, so I only know for the moment the numbers and a bunch of useful words (and all the bad ones).
