Marco Farinelli

Marco Farinelli was born in Rome in 1967. Educated at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, where in 1992 he received his Master’s in Political Science with a specialization in International Relations, and is now at the service of his peers to promote the United Nations Convention on the rights of people with disabilities. “I am not a poet: I have written too little and with free verses, but when I wrote I did it often in a hurry, out of a sense of urgency - at the corners of my life, and when I was inspired, even in love (and now for Zora too). I prefer to call myself a “poet at Heart”, out of respect for true Poets, out of realism with respect to the few poems and aphorisms I wrote, and because although they tell me it's musical I don't write in metrics.

It is important to me that my partner can appreciate them, even if in my love experiences it has never been indispensable.
