About Me

I'm from Italy. I started using Second Life in 2006. I'm fascinated by its complexity and its technical aspects, as well as by the freedom it provides to creative users. I like to discover new or little-known features and share them with everybody, and I usually do this via Twitter or YouTube videos. I have some skills in scripting and building and I use them to design and build part of the LOL region.
