If you are here, then this means you are curious to know who’s behind this blog, so let me introduce myself.
My name is Sonia, I have a Master Degree in Business, Marketing and Quality and I live in Italy. I belong to the Y Generation and I have two sisters and three brothers.
My passions
I am passionate about literature, philosophy, sociology and psychology, subjects I have met during my years of study and that they have fascinated me. Indeed I wanted to study literature at the university but for some reason I found myself at the Business Department. However, I could find teachings and subjects, surprisingly linked to those subjects.
I like reading. I have read many books. Reading is something that has grown with me, I started in the elementary school where I have read all the stories of my literature school book. Then I have done the same in the middle school where I started borrowing books from the school library. In the high school, I bought my first book and since then my personal library has expanded so much that now I almost don’t have space for other books.
Switch to Ebooks! You could tell me but I can’t, I can’t because I love the smell of the paper of the books, I love to browse their pages, I love to see them in a row on the shelves. For me, a book is like a door to another world, opening it means entering in another universe and holding a book gives me the feeling to be closer to its characters. This could be a unecological choice, I know but what can I say? I want to specify that I also read a lot online, what I can’t find in the book shops and above all fanfictions. I also read comics and mangas, even those has expanded in my personal library.
Besides reading, I like drawing. I draw since I was a child but I have never developed this ability, i have always considered it just as a hobby. I have filled a lot of papers and copybooks. I drew everywhere, in the school agendas and in the school books. I still keep drawing but not frequently, recently I have started using canvas but I am a mess with colors.
After a long time spent reading and studying, I have started writing, getting always more passionate about this world of endless possibilities. I wrote some fanfictions I posted in a couple of fan writing web sites, I also write for the blog www.lifeisnerd.it that I share with my sisters and brothers. My favorite genre of reading and writing is fantasy and adventure.
Moreover, I am passionate about cinema and tv series. I have lost count of how many movies and tv series I have watched. I have watched some movies and tv series so many times to have learned by heart the lines. Indeed, I often speak by quotes and references that only few people can catch.
Stories have accompanied me for all my life, under different forms and they have fascinated me so much to become, under different aspect, object of my high school and university thesis. I am fascinated by how the stories can engage and transport people, how they can turn into real memories, how they can change the meaning of the reality and influence us without we even notice.
Ars Scripta
The man has always told stories from the beginning of the time in many different ways, firstly through images then through the voice and finally with writing. Telling stories is a way to communicate and to share. While with the voice the stories can fade away and be lost, with writing they can be impressed in the time and become immortal.
Ars Scripta is a blog born to communicate and share my passions. Its name derives from Latin and means “art of writing”. Indeed, writing is considered as an art based on creativity and self-expression. Ars Scripta is a story.
So, here i am. Welcome to my story.
