My Interests
Hi-Fi & Electronics
I enjoy high-end audio and electronics. I own a 4-trace Tektronix digital oscilloscope
(
TDS-640A)
and a home theater setup (three installations in the house!) with fiber, all connected with WiFi.
Music
I play the organ and piano, holding an organ degree from the Antibes Conservatory. J.S. Bach is a lifelong passion.
I had GEM Studium digital organ, which I've customized extensively, a Schimmel piano, an Harpsichord (Wittmayer) and a
Yamaha Clavinova CLP-811 digital piano.
Some of my performances are on
YouTube.
Home
I live in a beautiful house in Grasse, in the south of France. After years of hard work, my family and I are finally enjoying it.
Cooking
Being Italian, I love food, wine, and cooking...
Motorcycling
I ride a BMW R 1250 GS Adventure Triple Black. Previously, I had a R 1200 GS Adventure, a R 1150 GS and R 1100 GS.
The first one, the 1100, saved my life - a long story - and then it was trashed!
Model Trains
I build HO scale trains using
Marklin trains, and I am constructing a fully digitized HO track using
DCC.
Science
I'm passionate about maths and physics. I participated in the SETI project, discovering two promising signal candidates before the project migrated to BOINC.
Even my wife, Anne, prepares me fractal cabbages like this beautiful "romanesco":

and I love it!!!
