Here's an Italian cowboy living in the Armour City in the Udmurt Republic, at the edge of Eastern Europe, originally from the Deep South of Italy.
I'm a university student and I attend med school (Izhevsk State). I used to attend classical lyceum (gymnasium) in Italy, where I studied Ancient Greek, Latin, classic literature and philosophy. I graduated with a thesis on Marx and Hegel.
Football (soccer) is my absolute favourite sport of all time, and a big part of my life and of Italian culture (calcio). I'm absolutely crazy about it, and about passionately supporting the glorious Italian football team FC Internazionale Milano, of which I am a lifelong fan, and English side Manchester City, which is my second team and a team for which I strongly sympathize. Hockey (ice hockey) is among my sports top #3, and my favourite teams in the NHL are Minnesota Wild, the Canes, and the legendary Boston Bruins. I mostly watch my domestic Serie A, but also the Premier League, UCL, MLS and RPL. My favourite footballer of all time is the Belgian Kevin De Bruyne. I also love basketball and I enjoy watching the NBA. I also watch electronic sports, especially the Call of Duty League and the Overwatch League.

I root for my beloved country, Mother Russia, in international sports competitions, as well for my native country, Italy, and the United States of America.
I'm in love with history and geography, and have taken a big interest in the study of astronomy. I like to discover and compare different places and cultures. And I have long been fascinated with Nordic mythology and Greek mythology (Pantheon). I have a big passion for Greek literature and Latin literature and my favorite writers/poets are Aristophanes for Greek literature and Virgil and Lucretius for Latin literature. I also enjoy so much studying philosophy and philosophers, both ancient and modern ones.

Italian is my native language. I'm a fluent speaker of English (mixed American-British variety; mostly GA accent with RP spelling). I live in Russia and speak Russian fluently. I learned Ancient Greek and Latin after studying them 5 years in high school, and I would also like to learn Spanish in the future.
I practice karate and I have an electric guitar sporting a gorgeous Union Jack livery which I named Clementine (got the reference?). I also enjoy so much listening to music. Music-wise, I listen to a bit of everything, but my favourite genres are phonk (especially drift phonk), Eurodance / Italodance, rap and heavy metal (especially black metal, power metal, NWOBHM). I am also an enjoyer of harbass (especially for the memes), hardstyle, swing, electro swing, folk music, military songs, electronic music and techno. I like fast-paced action music but sometimes I like to take a break and listen to some trance or some relaxing ambiance, such as ambient music, lo-fi or ASMRs, especially the ones involving nature or landscapes, and also the aforementioned Christian music and sacred music.
I have a passion for video games. I own a Xbox One X, a Nintendo Switch, and a New Nintendo 3DS XL.

I'm a devout and proud Christian, and I regularly attend church service. Jesus is all for me. I consider myself very religious, I strive to attend church every Sunday, I read the Bible, I pray and personally talk to God every day. I'm devoutly religious, though I am very accepting of other faiths and religions and eager to know more about them. I was baptized Catholic before officially converting to Orthodoxy, but I still have deep respect for Catholics, the Vatican and the Pope, and the role the Catholic Church played on Italian culture. I considered myself half Russian Orthodox, half non-denominational Christian.
My greatest idol and everyday inspiration for me is the Father of Medicine Hippocrates, who made outstanding contributions to his field. My favourite historical figure is unarguably the legendary Roman general and ruler Julius Caesar. My favourite philosopher of all time is the Ancient Greek Aristotle, but I also highly appreciate Plato, Descartes, Thomas Aquinas, John Locke and Fyodor Dostoevsky. My favourite writers/poets are Aristophanes (Greek literature) and Virgil and Lucretius (Latin literature) as I mentioned before. My favourite US presidents of all time are Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. My favourite star is Sirius and my favourite constellation is Orion. My favourite YouTubers are The Act Man, GeneralKidd, HiddenXperia, Odyssey Central, Marco Crepaldi, GioPizzi, Nova Lectio, Scorpio, Frank Matano, Poketonx, Jreg and Shayan Wahedi. My favourite colours are sky blue, orange, black, mint green, navy blue, royal blue, maroon, khaki, tawny, lilac and violet. I have long quit any tobacco product and I seldom drink ethanol, but the cigarettes I personally fancied the most are the Russian-exclusive Chapman Brown (Чапман Браун), and the finest drink for me is Malibu rum. Lastly, the gym workout exercises that always get me and pumps my determination ballistic are 1) the lying leg curl for hamstrings, 2)
Over and out. Приём.
