I have lived in Genova (Genoa) until 17, before winning a place at the United World College of the Atlantic and spending my last two years of high school there.

This was a great experience, which I recommend unconditionally. From there, I went on to University in Princeton.

Read an excerpt from "Invisible Cities", by Italo Calvino, that best explains my love for traveling and my admiration for Calvino.

¹For those of you who do not speak Italian, a tentative translation reads: “...I once believed this small town, where I was born, was the whole world. Now that I saw the world and realized that it is made up of many small towns , I am so not sure I was wrong.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

"...questo paese, dove sono nato, ho creduto per molto tempo che fosse tutto il mondo.

Adesso che il mondo l’ho visto davvero e so che è fatto di tanti piccoli paesi, non so se da ragazzo mi sbagliavo poi di molto.”¹
