Born in Rome, Italy, I have a strong interest in history and the world's cultures. I have a soft spot for Americana, relatively small ethnic and religious groups, matters pertaining to the unification of Europe.

I speak English, French, Italian, intermediate Polish and Russian and I get by in written Spanish. I tend to translate content from richer pages in a given wiki to "thinner" equivalents in other wikis.

Wikipedia is a fascinating project and a potential model for a more generous culture of sharing knowledge. I would be happy to bring a small contribution and stand to be corrected by more experienced users.
