About
I was born in Como, Italy, in 1943 and I live on a wooded hill near Siena. I have been a theoretical physicist, a farmer and a translator. From 1994 to 2002 I have been a member of the faculty of Eranos, an East-West research center located in Ascona, Switzerland. Since 2002 I am associate director of the Pari Center for New Learning, an alternative academic institute located in the medieval village of Pari, Tuscany. I give lectures, courses and seminars about physics as an instrument of wonder and about using the I Ching, the ancient Chinese oracle, as a tool for introspection.
