I don't believe in the concept of nationality- too wide to describe our
specificity and too narrow to emphasize our likeness...
> 4)Where does your family come from?
My grandmas were both from Lombardy, my grandpas were from the North-East
(the one I got my surname from, as the surname itself suggests, was from
Friuli, the other from Veneto).

Heterosexual.

Not too long... ok, I'm a little lazy when it comes to shaving;-)

Yup, and contact lenses.

Not usually, but I'm not one of those extremists who fade when they see a
cigarette...

Not too much, and then only good stuff;-)
