Imperfect ideas, opinions and interesting links collected by Feadin aka Paolo: a not-too-stereotypical Italian guy (except for the obligatory pantomime when condemning cappuccino after lunch or pineapple topping on a pizza) abroad (migrant or expat, depending on your political views), online since 1996 (on Geocities), blogger from 2003 to 2005, cineblogger from 2005 to 2010 (with The Director’s Cup) and again from 2017 to 2022 as co-founder of MadMass.it (in Italian only).
If you’d like to get in touch, you can email me . I’m not too keen on social networks, except for Mastodon and Letterboxd .

This blog is implemented through the static site generator Hugo , and styled by the Papermod theme (with a few personal tweaks here and there). It is currently hosted on Hetzner . I write the first draft of most posts in Obsidian and ‘polish them’ (so to speak) in BBEdit , with a little help from an ever-evolving Python script.
Film posters (of which you’ll find a lot on this blog) are provided by TMDB

External link icons are inspired by Gwern.net , and their implementation is based on Jessica Smith’s solution . Currently in use are:
