Carla and her little daughter Irene came at our place last Friday. We spent a nice afternoon together and Lorenzo enjoyed a lot their visit. Thanks for coming, and thanks for the guitar!!!

Anna and Marco is the title of Lucio Dalla famous song. But Anna and Marco are also our italo-american friends now living in France. And yesterday we had them at our place for a pizza and an hot chocolate. As expected, it was a great evening. Thanks for staying with us!!!
Eravamo quattro amici al bar…

Twice a year, during winter (alone) and during summer (with all the family) the “zio Teom” (contafamily) comes to meet us. Yesterday it was snowing but together also with Luca and Zap, we shared a really nice after dinner. We met each other during University years (roughly 20 years ago….), and although we live so far, our friendship is really strong. Thanks for coming Matteo, and enjoy your sky break.
Una torta, una bottiglia di vino e tanti amici

This Sunday weather was quite cold, although sunny. But at our place, in the afternoon, everything was made warmer by the presence of many friends that joined us for a snack based on a good apple cake prepared by Silvia. In particular Annina and Lorenzo energized us a lot. Thanks to everyone and let’s repeat this experience quite soon.
Messaggio ai candidati
February 9, 2013 // Posted in Pavia | No Comments
In Italy it is election time. And the campaign is not so exciting. But there is for sure a thing that a candidate should not do to preserve the possibility to have our vote: to park the pickup truck (with candidate’s picture) on the sidewalk, in correspondence of a pedestrian xing. We are sorry for you Mr. Bosone…
E’ piccolo e non disturba…

As you probaly know, we don’t like that our city is so crowded of (big) cars, and that their parking everywhere is somehow tolerated. We posted many pictures about that, but the SUV illegally parked on the sidewalk, under the road sign, for all the morning, without receiving any fine is really surprising, and sad…
Due anni dopo

It was two years ago when we met our namesakes Enrico and Silvia, together with their lovely baby Marta. And after two years, exactly in the same place, we had a coffee together. With also little Lorenzo (who didn’t have any coffee, don’t worry). Thanks for remembering about us, and let’s hope to see you soon again.
Romeo and Juliet
February 3, 2013 // Posted in Pavia | No Comments
This morning, after many foggy days, we had a lovely sunny day, with blue sky. And after many days we went out with little Lorenzo (he had a flu), and we visited the lovely park close to our apartment (it is little and nothing compared to Boston Common, Central Park or other parks we visited in the USA). We had the sensation that spring time is not so far, and the magic park reserved us a nice picture, with two cats that we imagined were playing the role of Romeo and Juliet.
Emigranti di passaggio

Few months ago (see here) we sad them goodbye, with some sadness in our hearts. Last Monday we met again Carlo, Susana, Marina and Sofia, back to Pavia, from Grenoble, for bureaucratic staffs. And we were so happy to see them so enthusiastic for their new life “grenobloise”. We will meet again soon, hopefully in Grenoble, together with Marco, Anna and Matteo. But for now thanks for being so special friends to us.
Linc team
January 26, 2013 // Posted in friends | No Comments
Sono trascorsi un po’ di anni, ma il ricordo di quel bellissimo gruppo di lavoro e’ sempre vivo. Si era un po’ piu’ giovani, si era forse piu’ determinati, e anche se i risultati scientifici del nostro trasmettitore LINC non sono stati cosi’ eccezionali, il rapporto umano che si e’ stabilito all’interno del gruppo di lavoro e’ sicuramente qualcosa che ci porteremo dentro per sempre. Nel corso degli anni ognuno ha poi seguito la sua strada, qualcuno e’ rimasto in ST, come Paolo, il Tempo e Ivan, altri sono andati in Marvell (come il sottoscritto e Paola), Raffaele ha fatto di tutto, e ora e’ a Amazon, Dario e’ tornato a fare il progettista dalle sue parti e Michela ha abbandonato la microelettronica. Ma giovedi’ sera, quando in cinque (il sottoscritto, Paola, Paolo, Ivan e Raffaele) ci siamo ritrovati a cena dopo tanti anni, e’ stata davvero una festa. Peccato per gli assenti, ma e’ sempre bello ritrovare vecchi amici. E anche il posto scelto per cenare (“La Posta” in corso Garibaldi) si e’ dimostrato all’altezza. Grazie a tutti e alla prossima.
Some years ago, when I was at ST, I had the opportunity to work within a great team to an interesting project on a LINC transmitter. Scientific results were not so exciting, but the team was great, So I was very happy to meet again Raffaele, Ivan, Paolo and Paola for a nice dinner last Thursday. Unfortunately Tempo, Michela and Dario were missing, but this could be the reason to repeat the experiment quite soon. Thanks to everyone, and see you soon again.
