“When it comes to food, I have several places of the heart: 3 Rane, Farmacia dei Sani, Origano, Primo, but if I have to name just one then it would be Le Macare, which has always represented the right compromise between tradition and contemporaneity.”

“Actually I don’t like ‘private’ beaches, I prefer pure nature (Porto Selvaggio, Specchiulla, Spiaggia degli Innamorati), but when I’m lazy and want to be pampered I go to Bagni Marinelli in Patù.”

“Unfortunately there are not many record stores left in Lecce, there is Youm in the center, but the most underground is definitely Disconutshot.”
