Marital status: not married. My former official girlfriend left me in a renomated fish restaurant in Vercelli (town 200 Km far from the nearest sea), after listing at least 20 major complaints about me. Terrific. More recently, a girl I invited to spend a couple of days with me (for a concert of a friend of mine), in a suite located in a Villa in the wonderful scenario of the western-Piedmont countryside, laughed convulsively.
