Weekend in Roma
Finally I've been in Roma, capital of my wonderful Italy and «caput mundi», capital of the world. The trip was pretty cool: I left from Milano on 24th by plane with Marco and Matteo, flying to Ciampino's airport in about one hour; landing was not perfect, but we arrived safe and sound at about 18:40, on time. Reach Roma from there is pretty [...]

Approach Simulator is a java game developed by me and Marco for the Java exam at the University of Pavia. The game has [...]

Weekend in Roma: plans
I will finally see Roma; it is strange that I have seen London, and more strange I was in Tbilisi for two times, and I have never seen our capital city: but time has come and I will go there on July, 24th. It will be just for a weekend, long weekend in fact, so we are planning everything to see as more beautiful things as we can. Actually I have [...]
