The catalogue of classes for Autodesk University 2024 is here, and I have the privilege of having been selected amongst the speakers, so around October 13th I’ll be flying to San Diego with my significant otter and I’ll bask in a whole week of networking and high-level training. The event includes more than 650 sessions, […]
Tre sono i ricordi più significativi che conservo di Andrea Piazzalunga. “Il Piazza”, come veniva affettuosamente chiamato in studio. Il primo: un viaggio di ritorno in auto dal cantiere di Saint-Vincent durante il quale ci siamo persi in chiacchiere, abbiamo mancato l’uscita del raccordo e ce ne siamo accorti solo alla barriera di Torino. “Questa […]
Late-night rejection! A classic in Gothic fiction even if it doesn’t intend to be in that genre, I couldn’t not include this in our collection on Patreon, since I pay homage to its turning point: “the deck is marked by scratches, powerful, heavy scratches three inches apart like claw prints of a gigantic hound.” The […]
Every year around Christmas, Milan’s Museo Diocesano temporarily hosts a masterpiece: last year, it was the predella from the Oddi Altarpiece, an Annunciation scene by Raphael, while in 2021 we had another Annunciation scene by Titian.

How do you explain it to normal people when a person meant the world to you but you lived an Ocean apart and you only met in real life a handful of times? I think you don’t, I don’t think you can, but I have to try. I met Jay Zallan during my first Autodesk […]
For those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter, here’s a small update on the status of my novel and its author. First of all, the English draft of the novel is finished and I have an idea for a title. The working title of the series was The Marvellous Voyages of the Queen […]
I’ve recently been reprimanded by a friend, who draw my attention to the fact that I haven’t posted here for a while. Well, not reprimanded, really: it was a very sweet note inquiring whether I was ok. I’m sure the thought hasn’t crossed people who follows me on Twitter, as I’ve been very active over […]
Well, I’ve been back from Madeira for a while, but it took me a moment to organize the notes and pictures. The journey has been challenging, for a whole set of reasons including a big question mark around my health, but overall I’m satisfied, and I was able to check a couple of things I […]
