I'm a Vulcan...
No, seriously:I'm an Italian sinologist with a lifelong passion for space (that includes astronomy, related fields AND science-fiction), besides other passions like animals, books and music.
I live near beautiful Garda Lake and work as 'cultural mediator'with the local 'Foreign Residents Office', my job is to facilitate communications between the local Chinese residents and the institutions (schools, hospitals,local governement and so on)both on the purely liguistic side and the cultural one, with the thousands little cultural issues that are often overlooked and can block meaningful communication and problem-solving processes.
The incredible differences in cultures and the basic oneness of humankind have always intrigued and fascinated me, what can it be like in the rest of the Universe?

As so many other have said if we were the only ones, the universe would be an awful waste of space, and, to quote 'The Prince of Thieves', I believe that God loves diversity, so I really think that somebody else is around, somewhere, and we can as well look.
My involvement is many faceted: a way to help SETI, a project that captivated me from the first time I heard of it; a hope to prove the "I-know-It-All-There-Are-No-Aliens" wrong once and for all and even a sort of 'ancestral vendetta', since my maternal grand-father (a dyed-in-the-wool science fiction buff) was laughted at for years, as the village fool, when he said that : 1) mankind would arrive on the Moon, and 2) there was life outside Earth (as you can see, I come from a headstrong family, and so, even though I've just started, I mean to KEEP LOOKING.
