la piu bella citta del mondo?

Hello benvenuti welcome
i am Olmo, amongst other things. An artist in many ways, a wastrel in many others. But at least i have passion, like many people, for the things i like and the things i don't like. I do like this city. I don't like Finland very much. (sorry Finland.) I don't like inefficient technology designed to improve my life that only serves to frustrate me. I do like communication- is an important part of learning and understanding and progressing. Where i come from there is clear sky and sea and sunshine. idyllic. but i am here in this wonderful, morbid, magical, explosive, corrupt, graceful silver-grey city.

this is an amazing city with infinite variety. intrinsically ecclectic, revelationary, visionary and subversively alternative. it oozes creativity and wealth like it is seeped with poverty and decay. It harbours as many overlooked geniuses as it does criminals, tucking them all away with a sigh. London has boundless energy, it evolves and revolves and expands and evolves. London is full of secrets which she is only to happy to share with you. Gothicism, industrialism, romanticism, modernism, corporatism and j**m, London finds space for everything. We push our city to it's maximum capacity. The echoing cobbles and streets and squares brood sadly for they are overwhelmed by the velocity of living that takes place amongst them. London is rampant and gentle, harsh and soothing. London is a unique evolution of cities on top of one another. Like several million others, my home is this city. And still, after years, London surprises me with views i've never seen, Buildings i've never noticed, Bus routes i've never been on, and more and more. The city reveals peoples and places and experiences you could never predict. London is one of the few true twenty first centuary cities.

I lived here for five years but the magnetism of the city drew me to it long before that. I work as an architectural artist, i am a student and a teacher, a promoter of this city and a promoter of my country. Although London has fantastico restauranti Italiani, they do not compare to the real thing (London does not understand the concept of Pizza.)
I think people should enjoy what they are doing, take more chances, follow random events as they always lead to something interesting, be friendlier on the picadilly line and generally slow down when using escalators, stairs and streets and so on. If you walk a little slower, you will see that London is desperate to divulge her secrets to you. And Londoners are fascinating, diverse and friendly people.
consequential randomity and unlikely introductions can be the key to wonderful surreal experiences. And like myself, London is an instigator... of every concievable possibility.
This city allows you to create your very own version of London, and that is superimposed on top of every body elses. And London celebrates this insanity, this hybrid of over eight million experiences of a city melted into a molten fluid, gushing through the streets like a tidal wave. London feeds on reinterpretation, redefenition, reassesment. And anyone is welcome to join in.
And anyone is also welcome to talk with me. Each new person you meet has something of value to share with you, who can predict what will ever happen to any of us?

Anyway. I digress. One of my talents. all i wanted to impart was that new experiences are valuable and they are around every corner.
There is beauty in chaos, so London MUST be... La Piu Bella Citta Del Mondo.
