Hobbies and Interests

I'm a very curious person with a lot of hobbies and interests that tend to increase year by year since I love to discover new interesting "worlds". Here I want to talk a bit about myself through my biggest passions.

Videogames

I do not love just making games but also playing them.

My favorite games are third-person action games with interesting worlds to discover.

Among my favorites, I want to mention some productions by some famous game studios/directors:

  • the most recent challenging and cryptic action RPGs developed by From Software like Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Elden Ring

  • action mecha games like Armored Core and Zone of the Enders

  • the very particular action adventures with inspirational philosophical thematics developed by Yoko Taro and his teams like the Nier franchise 

  • the atmospheric and poetic games developed by the Team ICO  like  Shadow of the Colossus and the Last Guardian.

  • some space and scifi games like Returnal and Ratchet and Clank

Music

I love listening to music with heavy and atmospheric sounds and go sometimes to the concerts of my favourite bands.

Many of my favourite songs have also interesting lyrics treating topics such as phylosophical themes like existence, death and religion.

My favorite genres and bands are:

  • Metalcore and Deathcore: Architects, Currents, Lorna Shore and more

  • Rock: Muse, Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin and similar

  • Classical Music: Bethoveen, Bach, Verdi, Vivaldi and more

  • Soundtracks from videogames and movies: Zimmer, Keiichi Okabe and Yuka Kitamura are my favorites

I share a picture of some of my favourite albums.

I also learned by self-taught to play guitar but I am just able to perform simple songs during some free time.

Model kits

I love to build and paint mecha models kits from different franchises like Armored Core, Knights of Sidonia, Zone of the Enders and more.

Sports

I like practicing sports and watching games (especially live).

In the past I played football and basketball in youth and universitary leagues.

For some years during university I had been also an official regional football referee for minor and youth leagues.

Now sometimes I go for a run and I play some amateur football matches with my friends.

Traveling

Another of my main passions is traveling.

I enjoy both going in other continents than just spend a weekend to take a hike in the mountains near my city.

I love to explore beautiful natural environments and visit historical cities seeking monuments and museums since I love art: my favourite styles are Romanticism for paintings (e.g. Friedrich, Turner and Constable) and Gothic for architecture.

I also adore trying typical dishes in the places that I visit since I love food and discovering new tastes.
