My name is Pietro, I am only 53 and have been married to Enrica since 1970. We have three children Valerio, Paola, Chiara.
Please have a look at my family.

I was born on February 22nd, 1949 and always lived in Sivizzano (Italy) a tiny countryside village along the ancient "Path to Rome" (300 B.C.) at about 20 miles far from Parma, our province chief town.

Parma and its province are well known throughout the world for the Parmesan cheese & ham (prosciutto). Ours is the land of delicious food and, for sure, we don't lack of history, art & lovely, varied scenery. Busseto (Parma) is the birthplace of the great opera musician Giuseppe Verdi.

I have no qualifications but I've worked as a bookkeeper over these last years. I don't complain... I feel myself a sorta self-made man. I've tried so many things and jobs, in my life, with fairly good results... I love all kinds of music, singing, dancing, playing, composing, reading, writing, fishing, above all making friends to people of all ages and walks of life.
My favourites are: Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Eagles, W.A.Mozart, F.Chopin, L.Van Beethoven.

I am only an amateur but MUSIC (click here to know more about me) has definitely influenced and accompanied all my life and thoughts... I just can't imagine my life without it... thanks to God, it's always been with me in joyful and sorrowful moments...
Oh, I forgot: I am a romantic dreamer!

I love all people, especially when they are caring and funny. Living in Italy, all I can do with my overseas relatives and friends (U.S.A. & Argentina), at this moment, is talking to them "online" or exchanging letters & emails. Of course, I'd like to meet them all someday and go dancing, partying, fishing, singing, all together... Yes, they are so many and fabulous! I've never been to America so far. A long vacation over there it's my biggest dream. Not that I am short of friends & relatives here in Italy.

My favourite writer is Ernest Hemingway. I've seen hundreds of movies of all kinds and liked most of them: from "Gone With The Wind" to "Dead Poets Society". I'm definitely a "nightowl"! I like all seasons but can't stand summertime when the days get too hot & sultry. Whatever place is good for me to hang out, indoors & outdoors, and when the company is good & cheerful & interesting I am never the first to say "Bye".

I usually don't like aggressive, deceitful and superficial people, however life's taught me some "positive thinking". Actually, I often realise that some of those failings I despise in others are just the same I despise in myself.
"It's not gold all that glitters", they say... and "every medal has its own reverse"... Yes, when I manage to go beyond appearences I happen to find lots of nice & interesting unexpected sides in all people.

By the way, I don't like Chinese food and traffic jams.
