Claudio Cinus
Claudio Cinus has always thought that if his life were a film, it would be directed by Tsai Ming-liang: one of those "boring" Taiwanese films where nothing happens for minutes and minutes... He was born in Cagliari and stayed there for thirty years, but when he decided to leave, he did so to live in two of the most beautiful cities in the world – Venice first, then Rome. He studied subjects at university for which he had no aptitude, but fortunately he obtained a job as a clerk with which he is very satisfied. He watches so many films that when he has some memory, he can no longer distinguish his real memories from the sequences of the films he has seen; almost always in the original language, of every genre and nationality, because art is the best means to appreciate diversity and combat homogenization.
