This page has being implying that I have few hobbies and *definitely* no fun. So
finally, two years after designing the button Fun & Hobbies, I am linking
in a few things to tell what I enjoy doing beside work.
-
Albert Einstein's Home Page
-
First a site which I adopted from George Jacoby.
Albert Einstein has been
one of my childhood idles and since I now work for the
Eidgenössich Technische Hochschule, the same
organization where he got his bachelor degree, my interest has been revived.
-
All movies, good movies and bad movies and cartoons too.
-
The United World Colleges
-
The United World Colleges belong to a movement that promotes international understanding
amongst teenagers. I went to the United World College of the Adriatic between 1988 and 1990,
where I obtained the International Baccalaureate. It is a sort of high school where
kids of different nationalities are brought together. It is financed by different
organizations in different countries and the students are selected on a competitive base
by national selection panels. Beside the hype and the inflated words such as
international understanding, it was a terrific experience, where I did learn a lot about
tolerance. Most important, I had the best two years of my life, and I do recommend it to
anybody (of the right age!) who wants an alternative to conventional schooling.

Sailing
-
I have been sailing since I was a kid, mostly onboard the Viura,
a 46 ft sloop owened
by my friends Matilde (who passed away), Carlo and their son, Marco Ruffino.
They take people around the seven seas for a living.
When I was 9 month pregnant with Elliot, in 2004, I bought a 20 year old Catalina 30 from a friend.
The best decision I have ever taken. We sail ever summer with our two kids Elliot (3) and Chiara (2).
Here is a link to my boat's page!
