Serious time.

I'm writing from Pozzuoli, a town on the shore near Napoli, in Italy.
I started studying physics at Federico II university three years ago, and I'm one year away from getting undergrad.
Answering @freemo right now I'm into mathematical physics and I'm enjoying it but I'm yet to specialize in anything, so I could say "everything" as well as "I don't know"!
Before enrolling I was tinkering with electronics and programming. In the spare time in high school, that was a lot, I discovered Linux and FLOSS world, I played with Arduino and spent my time on Istructables.
I've been practicing aikido since I was a child, now I'm 21.
I think you guessed I like to learn, every year I sign up to something new I never did before, and most of all that I never thought of myself doing. This was archery year: I practiced once a week with prehistorical and medieval bows, I built my personal bow with my hands and I go around practicing.
I'm horrified about how the main social medias are purposely distorting people's perception of reality, that's why I'm here.
I give my help in a community that's reviving an abandoned place to make it a common good. It's a widespread practice in Italy but the current government is pretty hostile.

That's a lot for now,
hope to hear about you soon,
Mariano

Hey, welcome here! I'm Italian too =)

What's the name of the community/place you are working with?

@freemo

@arteteco @freemo
Piacere di conoscerti!

That's Comitato ex Convitto Monachelle (www.monachelle.org)

@MM Thanks, if I manage I could swing by to see what's up there. Are you opening in September again?

@freemo

@arteteco Yeah, many activities are resuming in September. Most of the community gathers on Wednesday at 6:00 PM at the management meeting or on Saturday to work and spend the day together.

@MM @freemo wow just wow . now this is some introduction. It should be known as “ THE Mariano Introduction “ from now on until the end of time

@MM @freemo
Nice text and welcome! Positive criticism though:
You can use the CW (content worning) button to shorten your posts to prevent exploding other peoples timelines.

@commandelicious I 'd say this is right on that bring where its long enough to be worth a CW. I let it slide cause he was new but if it was a few lines longer I would have made the suggestions as well. Good call.
