It’s me!

Hi everybody, I think this blog needs an introduction so I’ll tell you something about me.

I’m 23 and I’m an italian student.
I’m madly in love with my fluffy boy, my cat Eros (like the mythological character), a sweet ginger that loves to eat and be cuddled.

I’m still studying in Italy but I think (and I hope) one day my job will bring me around the world.
I’m studying the ancient, the past, the misterious, in a word: archaeology.

Why did I choose this subject? I think that’s because there’s nothing more romantic, exciting, fascinating than discover the past, knowing who we are and were we can arrive with our sapientia (historia magistra vitae like Cicero used to say), I’m firmily convinced that knowing the past will help our future... we still have a lot to learn. I have so many ancient authors that I can count between my favourites but I’ll leave you with the one I consider magnificent, Archilochus:
"My Soul, my Soul, all disturbed by sorrows inconsolable,
Bear up, hold out, meet front-on the many foes that rush on you
Now from this side and now that, enduring all such strife up close,
Never wavering; and should you win, don't openly exult,
Nor, defeated, throw yourself lamenting in a heap at home,
But delight in things that are delightful and, in hard times, grieve
Not too much - appreciate the rhythm that controls men's lives.”
