I mostly blog in Italian here, but sometimes in English too, about all my interests: so there is education, specially non formal one, possibly done outdoors, in seminars and training courses I give all over Europe; there are technologies and the net, my beloved ones since a while, which continue to be the most interesting thing in our time – but you have to know how they work, and where to put your hands; there are stories, born some thousand years before the damn word storytelling and which luckily will survive it for many more years – told in old and new ways, from a circle around the bonfire to the last videogame. And then there are videogames, a lot of them, as I think they are the ultimate cultural production of our times, an amazing learning tool, a great storytelling experience and so much more.
