So, who am I?

Born in Sicily, between the volcano Etna and the sea, I'm a linguist and a writer. I currently write about arts and entertainments for a magazine.

Did this answer the question?

No. As a human, I'm made of flesh and passions just like everyone else.

Books and movies - because storytelling literally saved my life, no kidding.

Theatre - because my tragi-comic adventures as an actress and a playwriter taught me a lot.

Japan - because... well, it's a long, crazy, stupid story involving a name that was not supposed to exist. And you won't believe me anyway.

Jazz music - because... oh, just shut up and listen to some jazz.

Science - because the universe is about harmony and balance like art, and maths is nothing but a language.

Politics - because I like people who agree to talk about what we disagree on.

As for the rest, I'm a mess.

And don't panic, the ultimate answer is 42.
