I'm online again!  
Hi everybody! Finally I've got my line back and I can communicate with you again ...
I spent my first week at the University and I liked it, there're a lot of new things to do and probably the best one is 'Paleography' (recently I had to transcribe the first part of Dante Alighieri's purgatory from an ancient illuminated version of the famous Divina Commedia - late XIV century). Now, I just hope to find enough time to study what I missed during the past month and everything will be OK. =)

40 minutes by train are acceptable, those surroundings are not as stressful as Milano; the lake is a very relaxing place and there're a lot of things to do. Como is a beautiful city with a a lot of history: every single brick and stone can tell you something about its glorious and rich past. (I promise to post some photos in the next future).

Meanwhile I want to show you these:
The faculty of Law and Jurisprudence is located inside an ancient monastery, close to the romanesque abbey of St. Abbondio (built in 1050). I'm kind of jealous because my section is located inside an horrible complex built during the '70s ... Anyway, they're still restoring a good part of that medieval monastery, and I really hope they'll move my faculty (Cultural Heritage and Arts) over there! XD
 
If you don't know where Lake Como is, just take a look on googlemaps. BTW, there're around 45 km (28 ml) between Como and Lissone, which is the city with the nearest train station.

If you've ever been in Las Vegas, the name "Bellagio Hotel & Casino" should be familiar to you ... ok, near Punta Spartivento you'll find the original town of Bellagio, one of the most beautiful cities around. However, if you're more interested in celebrities, Laglio is the right place for you: over there you'll probably find Mr. George Clooney walking downtown; they say he's a nice and simple guy and I hope to find him someday! XD


That's all for now folks! See you next time! ;D

Yep! Thanks ... and, indeed: I'm a lot happier! =D
I'm also going to watch 'UP' in 3D with my old friends (later) and there's nothing better than that! ;) Spending the night in good company is the best thing of this world
