The life I remember begins at Imperia, where I went to school, including the Ginnasio-Liceo 'De Amicis.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't need to see the old school to remember it and the teachers there. They changed the way that I've always looked at life and learning.
What I remember most about high school are the memories I created with my friends.
My life before children I don't really remember. I've heard references to it, but I really don't remember.
There hasn't been a day in my life since I started Latin in ninth grade that I haven't benefited by the lives of the ancients.
Some of my favorite memories happened in the 'Boy Meets World' classroom.
I can no more think of my own life without thinking of wine and wines and where they grew for me and why I drank them when I did and why I picked the grapes and where I opened the oldest procurable bottles, and all that, than I can remember living before I breathed.
When I was young I read 'L'Etranger' by Camus, and it made me aware of the strangeness of life.
I went to the Conservatory of Music in school in Rome.
When I was a kid, my mum had a lot of Dumas books in the house, and she's from France originally. My mother had one particular Dumas book that was a family heirloom - this old, beat-up 1938 edition of 'The Count of Monte Cristo' in French. She came to America after losing her parents in World War II as a little kid.
I attended elementary school and high school in Mexico City. I was already fascinated by science before entering high school; I still remember my excitement when I first glanced at paramecia and amoebae through a rather primitive toy microscope.
