Ladies, if you're looking for a man who's intelligent, gentle, well-mannered, and kind, you may want to talk to me. But I do have a definite masculine streak! I am very, very Italian.

I am an only twin.

Generous with my time for things that I care about.

I'm kind of shy, though, so sometimes I may not open up right away.

I enjoy simple pleasures, but also more sophisticated activities. I have no children and love my freedom and spontaneous life. I am creative and have high moral standards.

You could say I have a smart, curious mind; I have a college degree (philosophy). I read often and have a large library. I occasionally attend foreign or art-house films, and go to the symphony once in a while.

I am athletically oriented and am usually quite physically active. My principal sport is tennis.

I am an Italian fashion fiend and always dress elegantly (I do not own jeans) and love Armani, Valentino, and Abboud.

I love to cook Italian food, drink wine (Italian wine, of course) like to play sports, listen to music (especially European music). I love music of all kinds, everything from jazz to ambient to house to techno, classical, dance pop, folk, etc.

I love to tell jokes and laugh...How about you? Intelligence in a woman is a real turn-on! I read a lot of history, science, and other forms of non-fiction, and have a wide variety of cultural interests. You could call me something of a renaissance man, I suppose. I certainly enjoy art and music, and have been lucky enough to visit Florence, Italy.

I look for people with a personal sense of style, and especially enjoy a woman who can be cheerful and witty. I appreciate sarcastic humor in the style of John Cleese.

Really looking for a girl with spirit, and a lust for life.

Please be aware that some of my photos are old and I'm bald now. Don't want to shock anyone!

I love kissing, by the way....

All'alta fantasia qui mancò possa;
ma già volgeva il mio disio e 'l velle,
sí come rota ch'igualmente è mossa,
l'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to write here...the usual works for me.
