About myself
My main passion is scientific research.
I wrote a book about how we see (“Il colore della luna. Come vediamo e perché”; Laterza, 2007) that has been translated into other languages and has won the 2008 Giovanni Maria Pace Award for the best Italian book of scientific popularization.
I have also illustrated several children's books. Some of my other interests: reading (fiction and non-fiction), computers and new technologies, mathematical games, illustration, architecture and design, photography, cinema, plants and gardens, new ideas, and anything that hasn’t been explained yet.
