[About--Members--Pictures--Songs--Extra--Updates] History: 1996A TWO-TRACK DEMO UNDER THE NAME "ETHEREAL" IS RECORDED AND SENT TO SEVERAL LABELS ACROSS EUROPE. AFTER REVIEWING THE OFFERS THAT CAME IN, A DEAL IS SIGNED WITH 'CENTURY MEDIA' AND THE NAME OF THE BAND CHANGES INTO "LACUNA COIL" BECAUSE THE NAME "ETHEREAL" IS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN BY ANOTHER BAND IN GREECE. THE NAME "LACUNA COIL", WHICH MEANS "EMPTY SPIRAL", IS CHOOSEN BECAUSE THE MEANING REMAINS SIMILAR TO ETHEREAL WHILE EXPRESSING OUR VISION ON LIFE. 1997THE DEBUT SELF-TITLED EP IS RECORDED AT THE "WOODHOUSE STUDIO" IN HAGEN (GERMANY) AND PRODUCED BY WALDEMAR SORYCHTA. WE SLEEP IN AN OLD AND RUN DOWN FLAT RIGHT ABOVE THE "SPIRIT" CLUB WHERE SOME OF US SPEND SOME OF THE MORE "INFLUENCED" NIGHTS OF OUR LIVES... STRAIGHT AFTER THIS, OUR FIRST LIVE EXPERIENCE BEGUN SUPPORTING OUR LABEL-MATES "MOONSPELL" ON OUR FIRST EUROPEAN TOUR: ANXIETY, STAGE-FRIGHT AND INTENSE EMOTIONS CULMINATED IN THE BREAK-UP OF THE BAND MID-TOUR. EMERGENCY AID WAS OFFERED BY MARKUS FROM "KREATOR" ON DRUMS AND ANDERS FROM "TIAMAT" ON GUITAR. OVERALL, IT WAS GREAT PROMOTION AND AS FIRST EXPERIENCES GO...IT WAS WORTH IT! 1998CRISTIANO MIGLIORE (THY NATURE) AND CRISTIANO MOZZATI (TIME MACHINE) ARE RECRUITED TO JOIN THE BAND RESPECTIVELY ON GUITAR AND DRUMS. THEIR ARRIVAL MARKS A TURNING POINT IN THE BAND'S VIBE, A HEAVY MOOD IS LIFTED AND THE RESULT IS A NEW ENTHUSIASM. THE SELF-TITLED EP IS RELEASED AND WE OPEN FOR "MOONSPELL" AT THE "COLISEUM" IN LISBON IN FRONT OF 4000 PEOPLE; IT'S A VERY EMOTIONAL MOMENT AND OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH SUCH A LARGE AUDIENCE. WE EMBARK ON OUR SECOND EUROPEAN TOUR, THIS TIME WITH "THE GATHERING" AND "SEIGMEN". THERE ARE MANY SOLD-OUT SHOWS AND CRISTINA AND ANNEKE DUET DURING A FEW OF THESE. UNFORTUNATELY, CRISTIANO MIGLIORE IS INJURED SHORTLY BEFORE DEPARTURE AND CANNOT MAKE IT, STEVE MINELLI (NODE) JOINS THE BAND FOR THE TOUR. ALICE CHIARELLI JOINS ON KEYS. AND THEN IT CAMES OUR FIRST FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE: "WACKEN OPEN-AIR" IN GERMANY. A VERY GOOD RESPONSE OPENING THE FESTIVAL ON ITS MAIN-STAGE FOLLOWED BY OUR FIRST SIGNING SESSION: WE FEEL LIKE REAL "ROCKSTARS"!!! RIGHT AFTER THE SHOW, DUE TO THE NATURE OF OUR MUSICAL DIRECTION WE DECIDE TO LOOK FOR A SECOND GUITARIST INSTEAD OF USING A KEYBOARD PLAYER. FINALLY, THE ALMOST-COMPLETE BAND COMES TOGETHER (CRISTINA, ANDREA, MARCO, CRIZ AND CHRIS) TO RECORD HIS FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM. ONCE AGAIN AT THE "WOODHOUSE STUDIO" WITH WALDEMAR, THIS TIME THE EXPERIENCE IS TOUGH BUT VERY REWARDING: FOR SOME OF US IT'S THE FIRST PROFESSIONAL RECORDING EXPERIENCE AND WE GAVE IT OUR ALL! "IN A REVERIE" IS BORN. 1999THE MISSING LINK ARRIVES IN THE SHAPE AND FORM OF A 22 YEAR OLD "OUTLAW"(!) BY THE NAME OF MARCO BIAZZI A.K.A. "MAUS" (BTH) ON SECOND GUITAR. NOW THE LINE-UP IS FINALLY COMPLETE!!! OUR FIRST GIG SUPPORTING "IN A REVERIE" IS THE RELEASE SHOW AT MILAN'S ROCK TEMPLE: "THE ROLLING STONE", IN FRONT OF MORE THAN 1500 PEOPLE...AFTER THIS WE EMBARK ON A CO-HEADLINING EUROPEAN TOUR WITH "SKYCLAD". THE TWO BANDS SHARE LOTS OF FUN, TOBACCO, BEER, WINE AND STAGE-DIVING! "NON-STOP TOURING" SEEMS TO BE THE NEW MOTTO. THIS TIME IT'S THE "INTO THE DARKNESS" TOUR, FEATURING "MY INSANITY", "LACUNA COIL", "GRIP INC." AND "SAMAEL." MORE THAN 15 SHOWS WHICH OFFER GOOD LIVE EXPERIENCES, GREAT PEOPLE BUT ALSO A LITTLE CHAOS. THIS FESTIVAL SLIPS RIGHT INTO "GRIP INC.'S" EUROPEAN TOUR, AND THE BAND CARRIES ON SUPPORTING GRIP INC. THROUGH EAST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, THEIR YOUNG LIVES IN THE HANDS OF A CRAZY BUS DRIVER CALLED PETE WHO LOOKS (...AND ACTS!) LIKE BARNEY FROM "THE SIMPSONS". THE TOUR IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY WITH FRIEND/PRODUCER WALDEMAR SORYCHTA AND IDOL DAVE LOMBARDO. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE TOUR IS THE APPEARANCE AT POLAND'S "METAL MANIA FESTIVAL" IN FRONT OF 5000 EXCITED METAL FANS. THE GRIP INC. LACUNA NIGHT-LINER PULLS INTO THE "DYNAMO" OPEN AIR FESTIVAL SITE FOR ONE OF OUR MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES IN OUR CAREER. OUR DEBUT AT THE PRESTIGIOUS DUTCH FESTIVAL IS WITNESSED BY ALMOST 20.000 PEOPLE IN A PACKED TENT. THE ITALIAN FLAG IS HOISTED IN THE AIR BY A GROUP OF FANS IN THE FRONT, SOME SING ALONG AND OTHERS WAVE BANNERS HAILING CRISTINA: IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE! BACK TO ITALY... PLAYING THE "GOD'S OF METAL", THE MOST IMPORTANT HARD ROCK FESTIVAL IN OUR COUNTRY, IN FRONT OF A SWELLING CROWD OF OVER 25.000 PEOPLE, IS OUR MOST INTENSE GIG SO FAR. SHARING THE STAGE WITH NAMES AS "METALLICA" AND "MONSTER MAGNET" IS AN HONOUR, BUT OUR REAL CAUSE FOR PRIDE IS THE REACTION WE GET FROM OUR HOME TOWN, MILANO. HOME, SWEET HOME!!! AND FINALLY HERE IT IS, OUR FIRST MINI HEADLINING TOUR: 3 GIGS FROM ROTTERDAM (NL) TO ALTHEIM (DE) WHERE THE LOCAL OPEN-AIR FESTIVAL PROVIDES A NICE LEISURE WEEK-END, THE CHANCE TO GET LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH OUR OWN CARS AND A PAUSE IN THE NECK-BREAKING PACE OF THE PREVIOUS THREE MONTHS... UNFORTUNATELY MAUS IS NOT WITH US BUT WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE PATRICK GRAZIOSI (THY NATURE) JOINING US TO GIVE AN HAND ON 2ND GUITAR. ON THE ROAD AGAIN, SUPPORTING "LACRIMOSA" ON A GERMAN TOUR, HUGE CLUBS, ALMOST EVERY GIG IS SOLD OUT, FOR THE FIRST TIME GOOD FOOD IN GERMANY, VERY FRIENDLY GUYS FROM THE BAND AND THE CREW. THREE NEGATIVE POINTS: A TERRIBLE CAMPER ON TERRIBLE ROADS, HORRIBLE MERCHANDISE AND MARCO BROKE A RIB HELPING A LIGHT TECH AND THEREFORE THE BAND HAS TO CANCEL THE LAST THREE GIGS. 2000WE ENTER THE "DAMAGE INC." STUDIOS IN VENTIMIGLIA WITH WALDEMAR SORYCHTA TO RECORD A NEW EP 'HALFLIFE', CONTAINING 5 NEW TRACKS. "LA DOLCE VITA" ATMOSPHERE OF THE LIGURIAN COAST IS THE PERFECT SETTING FOR OUR FIRST APPROACH TO DIGITAL RECORDING TECHNIQUES, ITALIAN LYRICS AND A COVER TUNE...AND MARCH THE 20TH SIGNS THE OFFICIAL RELEASE OF THE "HALFLIFE" EP IN THE SHOPS. OUR FIRST REAL HEADLINING TOUR ACROSS EUROPE. 13 GIGS INCLUDING UK AND IRELAND. FINALLY WE HAVE OUR PERSONAL SOUND ENGINEER ("DON" MICHELE BOCCALONE) AND PERSONAL CREW (LUCA "TORTELLO" MARCHETTI AS DRUM TECH. AND JASE "JB" BIRNIE AS GUITAR TECH.), VERY GOOD TO SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE ALMOST EVERY NIGHT CONSIDERING THAT WE ARE A NEWCOMER BAND. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE TOUR IS IN LONDON, A SOLD-OUT GIG AND A VERY ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE REPRESENTS A BIG SURPRISE FOR US. IN BELFAST, ANDREA FALLS ON STAGE AND HAS TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL WITH A DISLOCATION OF HIS SHOULDER. ON STAGE AGAIN...FESTIVAL IN MILAN, "PALA AQUATICA", MORE THAN 2500 PEOPLE. VERY GOOD SHOW EVEN IF WE HAVE A LITTLE TECHNICAL PROBLEM: SOMEONE OF THE BAND (MAYBE THE DRUMMER?!?) FORGOT THE MINI DISK WITH ALL THE KEYBOARDS AND LOOPS ON. THE SHOW HAS TO BE SHORTER THAN USUAL BECAUSE WE HAVE TO CUT SOME SONGS. WE PLAYED FASTER AND HEAVIER AND SOME PEOPLE LIKED IT BETTER THIS WAY. HAPPY TO PLAY FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH OUR FRIENDS 'LABYRINTH'. IN OCTOBER WE ENTER, FOR THE THIRD TIME, THE "LEGENDARY" WOODHOUSE STUDIOS WITH THE "ILLUSTRIOUS" PRODUCER WALDEMAR "BVB" SORYCHTA TO RECORD THE SECOND FULL LENGHT ALBUM "UNLEASHED MEMORIES". 9 NEW TRACKS AND A DIFFERENT VERSION OF "SENZAFINE" WHICH IS ALSO THE WAY IT WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED..."UNLEASHED MEMORIES" IS READY. 32 DEGREES...IT'S CHRISTMAS... WHAT A DREAM... TWO GIGS (GUADALAJARA AND MEXICO CITY) WITH "THEATRE OF TRAGEDY" LET THE FUN BEGIN FOR THE LACUNAZ: UNBELIEVABLE AUDIENCES (MORE THAN 2000 PEOPLE EACH GIG...), INCREDIBLE WEATHER AND... 3 DAYS IN ACAPULCO FOR VACATION!!! 2001THE ALBUM IS OUT AND WE START AN EUROPEAN TOUR WITH "THEATRE OF TRAGEDY" (KJELLEPEEEERRRR!) AND "BESEECH" (SK�L!). EVERYTHING IS GREAT FOR ALL THE BANDS: GOOD AUDIENCE, GOOD CREW, GOOD CLUBS...A LOT OF FUN!!! DURING THE TOUR WE HAD ONE GIG IN MILAN, JUST ENOUGH TIME TO GO BACK HOME FOR A DAY TO WASH OUR SOCKS AND TASTE SOME GOOD FOOD!!! A LOT OF FRIENDS AT THE GIG (W I CINGHIALESI!!!!!), AND A LOT OF ALCOHOL AFTERWARDS. WE ALSO SPEND TWO INTERESTING DAYS IN BUDAPEST, IN A CLASSY HOTEL WHERE EVERYONE SPENDS 19 DM FOR THE CABLE TV (...). ITALIANS DO IT BETTER! DURING THIS MONTH WE MEET "NEVERMORE" (GREAT! WE'LL BRING THEM SOME SAMBUCA AS SOON AS WE'LL TOUR WITH THEM...), SIMON FROM "DIMMU BORGIR", "IN FLAMES" (VERY NICE PEOPLE, AFTER THE GIG WE SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER) AND OUR OLD FRIEND ANDERS (TIAMAT), WHO HELPED US BY PLAYING GUITAR DURING OUR VERY FIRST TOUR! (THANKS AGAIN!). A SPECIAL CONGRATULATION TO HOLGER, WHO ALMOST LEARNED THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE! BEGINNING OF THE METAL ODYSSEY TOUR 2001 WITH "DIMMU BORGIR", "IN FLAMES", "NEVERMORE" AND "SUSPERIA". A LOT OF FUN, A LOT OF BEER AND THE MOST INCREDIBLY HOT TOUR BUS WE'VE EVER HAD!!! PLAYSTATION'S "TEKKEN 3" TOURNAMENTS ON OUR BUS BETWEEN THE MEMBERS OF ALL THE BANDS (WE KICKED a** AHAHAHAH!!), GREAT AUDIENCE AT EVERY GIG AND THE BEST LAST GIG EVER WITH LOTS OF ALCOHOL AND JOKES ON STAGE DURING EVERY SET. WE'RE NOW READY FOR ITALIAN GIGS AND FESTIVALS...TREVISO, ROMA, RIMINI, PRATO AND PINARELLA DI CERVIA. WE PLAYED THE "WAVE GOTIK TREFFEN" FESTIVAL IN LEIPZIG. WELL...WE START THE TRIP FROM ITALY WITH SUN AND WHAT DO WE FIND THERE? ...5 DEGREES AND ******** COLD WEATHER... MMMM... NOT A GOOD IDEA TO TRAVEL WITH SHORTS ALL THE TIME!!! THERE WE MEET OLD FRIENDS LIKE "THEATRE OF TRAGEDY" AND "ZEROMANCER". MARCO COTI ZELATI HAS BEEN OPERATED ON THE LEGAMENTS OF HIS KNEE, SO HE CANNOT JOIN US DURING THE SUMMER GIGS. FIRST OF THOSE IS THE "ROCK MACHINA" IN VALENCIA: AMAZING PLACE, VERY GOOD FOOD AND A WONDERFUL AUDIENCE. LOTS OF FUN WITH "IN FLAMES" DRINKING BEER AT THE EDGE OF THE HOTEL'S SWIMMING POOL (MMMHH... REEEEEAAALLY HARD TO BE A MUSICIAN, HUH?). UNFORGETTABLE GIG AT THE "WACKEN OPEN AIR" FESTIVAL. NEVER SAW SO MANY PEOPLE ALL TOGETHER, NEVER BEEN SO POWERFUL ON STAGE BEFORE. NICE TO SEE AGAIN "IN FLAMES", "NEVERMORE", "DIMMU BORGIR", "THEATRE OF TRAGEDY"... IT'S TIME FOR THE "SUMMERBREEZE" FESTIVAL, WOW, WHAT A TRIP! THE FUNNY THING IS THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN A SORT OF MONASTERY BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE IN ANY OTHER HOTEL!! REALLY FUNNY TO SEE MAUS, CRIZ AND "DON" MICHELE, WALKING ALMOST NAKED WHILE PERFORMING A RELIGIOUS CEREMONY IN THE HALLWAY WITH A BIG CRUCIFIX... UPSIDE DOWN...!!! STRAIGHT TO BELGIUM FOR THE "EUROROCK", WHERE WE PLAY IN A TENT BECAUSE A STRONG WIND DESTROYED THE REAL STAGE THE DAY BEFORE. THAT REALLY ROCKED! THEN THE "Z7" IN SWITZERLAND. AFTER THIS A GIG AT THE "M'ERA LUNA" FESTIVAL. GREAT TO SEE "THEATRE OF TRAGEDY", "ZEROMANCER" AND "LUCYFIRE" AGAIN. CRISTINA PERFORMS THE SONG "YOU CAN HAVE ALL MY LOVE TONIGHT" WITH "LUCYFIRE". BACK IN ITALY...GIGS IN OSNAGO AND CAGLIARI. ROCK TV IS BORN AND WE ARE INVITED TO JOIN THIS NEWBORN CHANNEL WITH A GIG AT THE "ROLLING STONE" IN MILANO... WONDERFUL!!! MAUS AND CRIZ APPEAR ON ROCK TV IN THEIR PROGRAM CALLED "DATABASE". AND AT THE END OF THE YEAR TAKE PLACE OUR FIRST TOUR IN THE U.S., WITH OUR LATIN FRIENDS MOONSPELL! AWESOME!!! 12 GIGS IN THE STATES PLUS 2 CANCELED SHOW IN CANADA (. . . F*ING BROKEN TOUR BUS!DAMMIT! ! ! ). IT WAS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE IN OUR CARREER. SUPER BRILLIANT AUDIENCE AND UNEXPECTED VISITS FROM PETER STEEL (TYPE O NEGATIVE), ERIC PETERSEN (TESTAMENT), STEVE DIGIORGIO AND THE JAG PANZER'S GUYS. 2002THE BAND STILL COOPERATE WITH ROCK TV, DOING SOME INTERVIEWS TO ARTISTS LIKE HELLOWEEN, SLIPKNOT, NICKELBACK, POD, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, TIAMAT, MOONSPELL, BLIND GUARDIAN, AND MORE . . . AFTER SOME MONTHS OF HARD WORK PRACTICING WITH INSTRUMENTS AND BEERS, WE'RE READY FOR THE PRE - PRODUCTION WITH WALDEMAR IN MILANO. APRIL THE 17th WE ALREADY ARE LOCATED IN DORTMUND (GERMAN ), STARTING THE RECORDINGS OF "COMALIES", THAT WILL END IN MAY. EUROROCK FESTIVAL IN BELGIUM AND THEN FINALLY SOME VACATIONS!!!

BUT NOW IT'S TIME FOR TOURING AGAIN...AND IT'S GONNA BE A CO-HEADLINING TOUR WITH OUR FINNISH FELLAZ 'SENTENCED'. THE UPCOMING "FOUR ABSENT FRIENDS" TOUR IS CANCELED FOR US, DUE TO BUROCRATICS BULLS@#T. 2003WE TOUR AGAIN, FIRST IN ITALY AND THEN IN GREECE WITH OUR LABELMATES TIAMAT, GREAT TIME AND LOT OF RUSH HOURS. IN APRIL WE ARE READY TO HIT THE STATES AGAIN, THIS TIME 4 WEEKS WITH OPETH AND 2 HEADLINING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE U.S. THE SWEDISH GUYS REVEALED A BIG LATIN SIDE DUE ALSO TO THE 2 "MARTINS"...THE CRAZY RYTHMICAL SECTION FROM URUGUAY. WE PLAYED A COUPLE OF SHOWS IN THE "BLACKEST OF THE BLACK" TOUR WHICH ALSO FEATURED GLENN DANZING, SUPERJOINT RYTUAL, NILE AND BEHEMOTH. WE NEVER EXPECTED SUCH A GREAT REACTION ALSO IN OUR HEADLINING GIGS...!!! CHEERS TO YAKUZA, BEYOND THE EMBRACE AND DAYLIGHT DIES. BACK FROM THE STATES...NO REST...MORE SHOWS IN ITALY AND FESTIVALS IN EUROPE, THE BIGGEST FESTIVAL WE'VE EVER PLAYED IN ITALY HAS BEEN THE "HEYNEKEN JAMMIN' FESTIVAL", 40.000 PEOPLE WITH 'IRON MAIDEN' HEADLINER...AN AWSOME EXPERIENCE AND A GREAT REACTION FROM THE AUDIENCE...BUT THE REAL DEAL WAS TO MEET "EDDIE" IN PERSON!!! MORE ITALIAN SHOWS AND THE "GRASSPOP" FESTIVAL IN BELGIUM, CHRIS, OUR GUITAR PLAYER, ALMOST BROKE HIS LEG FALLIN INTO A HOLE IN THE STAGE...DAMMIT!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Name: Andi
Since I was a kid I always listen to a lot of music, mostly rock music, but not only...! I started with some classics like The doors, Kiss, ACDc, Priest and then I moved to some more extreme sounds like Metallica, Slayer, Morbid Angel, Death. Growing up I've added some more alternative bands to my playlist like Pearl Jam, Alice in chains, Faith no more, Depeche mode, The Cure and sometimes I've also enjoied some early hip hop music like Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, N.W.A. and some other artist like Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, Otis Redding... In the years before we've started this band I was a lot into bands like Type O Negative and Paradise Lost and along the way of our career I have apreciated many records and so many different bands that I'm not able to count anymore... just to name a few: Korn, The Cult, Massive Attack, Disturbed, System of a down, Steel Pulse, Queens of the stone age and many many more! In my mind I have a song for every moment of my life and that's why I like to listen to a lot of different music.
I used to watch a lot of tv but since 2 or 3 years I've changed my habit a bit. Anyway I still love shows like Family Guy, Jerry Springer, Six Feet Under, Smackdown, The Sopranos, Law and Order, N.Y.P.D., Mtv Headbangers Ball, Pimp my ride and a lot of the 70s80s shows like Addams Family, The Monsters, Muppet Show, Miami Vice, Sanford and Son, etc. When I'm home I like to watch programs like Controcampo, Le Iene, Q.S.V.S., Sexy Bar, documentarys and tv Games.I also like Japanese Animee, G.I. Joe, Masters of the Universe, Roadrunner, Pink Panther, Hanna and Barbera cartoons.
I love cinema and here are some of my favourites: Classic horror movies, Nightmare, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Profondo Rosso, etc. Italian comedy, spaghetti western and 70's gangsters movie. I love The Godfather, The Warriors, Pulp Fiction, Star Wars, National Lampoon Vacations, Dune, The matrix, Nightmare Before Christmas, Shrek, Alien, Tim Burton, Steven Spilberg, Clint Eastwood, Peter Jackson, Bob De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Jhonny Depp, Bruce Willis,Sigourney Weaver, Uma Thurman, Milla Jovovich, Silvia Saint, Diego Abatantuono, Thomas Milian, Maurizio Merli, Bruce Lee, Rocco, and thousands more!
I am a very discontinuos reader but when I have time I read a lot, I don't have a specific target but I like to satisfy my curiosity about religions, history, discovery, music, dark writers and sometimes fantasy! Recently I have spent some time on The Da Vinci code and Il Vangelo secondo la scienza from Piergiorgio Odifreddi. I love Marvel comics too!
As every real italian, when it comes to food I'm very picky even if when I'm not home I like to try different flavors. Lately I've enjoied food from Mexico, Japan, China, Thailand and Greece. When I'm on tour in the U.S.A. there's nothing better than a double cheese burger with bacon and a strawberry shake! Breakfast with donots and Frappuccino.
I'm a lot into soccer but I also like more alternative kind of sports like Skateboarding, surf, snowboarding, freestyle motocross, martial arts, boxe and basketball. My favourite teams are A.C. Milan, F.C. Barcelona, S.C. Ferrari, L.A. Lakers. In my freetime I like to ride my mountain bike, sometimes skatebording and play soccer, visit locations, writing ideas, and playing videogamez, this in particular I'm doing a lot recently with games like G.T.A. San Andreas, Pro Evolution Soccer 5, Halo 2 and Doom 3.
I like animals in general, I own two cats but I also had a dog. I have a weird attraction for sharks, crocodiles and snakes.
I'm not a car freak but I like to watch a nice ride, my favourites amongst others are Ferrari, Lamborghini, Dodge, Hummer, B.M.W., Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, Harley Davidson.
Vices I have a few...
Drink is one of those! I love beer, wine, whiskey, ruhm, gin and vodka cocktails! I also drink non alcholics stuff like natural water, diet pepsi,chinotto, mountain dew, peer and apple juice.
There are many nice places where I have been during the past years but if I have to name just some cities I would say with no offense for anybody: New York, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Lisboa, Roma, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Chicago and of course our beloved Milano.
