What is the best thing that I love about my work?
Its undefinability. Its unpredictability. Its incomprehensibility.
I have not been able myself to give a name to it on my identity card. I love it.

My naive idealism. It can be dangerous and it’s not practical at all.
Which living persons in my profession do i most admire?
All the true artists, those who are limitless. There are many. David Byrne is one.
What is my greatest extravagance?
Maybe to do always my best to not fit into people’s mental schemes. It can be destabilising, but I like it so much.
On what occasion would I lie?
I usually don’t. Really. Just because I would be so bad in managing lies…
What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work?
The same things I do love: its undefinability. Its unpredictability.
Its incomprehensibility.

Both big or little projects, I am immensely happy every time I have a new idea and every time I realize it.
If I could, what would I change about myself?
I don’t know, really. I changed so many times…

I would say when I left “that life” and started a new one.

If I could, in a different place every day.

A useless box.

What is my most inspirational location, in my city?
The truth? Two places in my house. The window on the ceiling of my bedroom and the green terrace where I sometimes do work.

Next place. I like to change place and kind of food every time I go out for eating. Anyway, my home is still the place where I can eat the best.
What books influenced my life and how?
When I was a child, probably Salgari’s adventure books and Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese (comics). They both made me wish to travel to know other places and cultures.
