I'm a 45 years old kid!
My Job: Digital FX supervisor for Cinema and Advertising
Hobbies: Astronomy, Photography, Piano, 4x4 offroad
I have discovered my love for the astronomy and Physics Science when I was 10 years old.
This has directed all my choices in my life: study, hobbies, work ....!I was constrained to stop my observation when I was 26 because all of my time was spended for my work and family .
Only 3 years ago I have restarted and I have retrived all panorama of instruments , tenchics and methodology changed.
I hope to continue my running on this fascinating path!
