I was born in 1967, I collect minerals since I was 10, most from Tuscany, Italy. I live Switzerland since 20 years and at now I live half in Switzerlad and half in Tuscany, Italy.

At now, I collect slags new formed minerals (https://www.facebook.com/groups/slagsmicrominerals/), minerals from Livorno (https://www.facebook.com/groups/MineraliMontiLivornesi/), Tuscany, Italy, and minerals in sediments and sands. Here is LIBVRNA : https://www.facebook.com/groups/286801079842261

I wrote a book on sand minerals and organic contents in 2002.
I wrote a book on Leghorn hills minerals, TOSCANA, I minerali di Livorno (2020).
I wrote a book on U/V new occurrence, TOSCANA, Minerali di uranio a Livorno (2021).
Now ( since2021) editor of the review LIBVRNA, for the mineral collectors.

I also collect aextetics minerals and have some nice aextetics speciments to trade.
