Hi, my name is Gianluca and my surname is Pignataro, I'm 15 years old and I'm italian.

I was born at the Bari Polyclinic hospital on 12th july 2009,but now I live in Noicattaro, a small and quiet town of Puglia situated near Bari, that is known for the smallest theatre in Europe and for the grape trade.

My house is located in the centre of the town, between two schools, that are Alcide Degasperi elementary school and Nicola Pende middle school.

I live here with my family, that is composed by four people: my father Giancarlo, my mother Santa, my little brother Giuseppe and me .

I'm a sporty, sociable, attentive, obsessed, determined, patient but sometimes a little shy guy.

I've practiced basketball, football and judo but now I go to the gym, that is the only sport that gives me the possibility to decide the timetables for my own, and it’s very great because it teaches you how to stay and think alone and also the discipline. I would like to start playing football again because I’m very good at and I feel good when I play it,  but I don’t have enough time because I’m very busy between school and social life.  I also love watching football on  TV because I’m very passionate and the Italian team that I support is Juventus. There are other things that  I like doing, for example I like cycling, going out with my friends to spend time and have fun with them during the weekend's evenings.

I don't usually play video games because I spend a lot of time doing homework, but the games that I like the most are sport or fighting games. I hate dancing infact I never dance when I go to parties, I don't like playing volleyball and reading fantasy book or stories because I prefer science book that contain informations that can answer questions about existence.

I don't usually watch tv series but i prefer  watching films, and my favorite are the horror films, infact I love the strange and frightened stories.

I've never travelled abroad so I would like to visit some of different places around the world like USA, Spain, Greece, Brazil etc..., because I want to understand the cultures, religions and, above all, the culinary traditions of different peoples.

I'm a food lover, my favorite foods are pizza, potato pie and lasagna but I hate artichokes, onions and mushrooms.

This year I'm attending the second year of scientific liceum at Alpi-Montale high School of Rutigliano, I chose this type of school because I like all scientific subject like math and chemistry, I also like english and italian grammar but I don't really like geohistory and art history. In future I'd like to become a doctor or an engineer because I love the scientific aspect of the World.

Thanks for reading.

My name is Grazia Battista. I am 14 years old and I was born on 29 December. I live in Rutigliano, a quiet town in Puglia, in the province of Bari. I don't like living here because there are no leisure activities for me and my friends, so we are always forced to move to Bari or other nearby towns. My family consists of my father Vito, who is an engineer and works in PERONI, my mother Marisa, who is a high school teacher, and me. I have no siblings. I attend the second year of a Liceo Scientifico Tradizionale in Rutigliano. My favourite subjects are Mathematics and English. I also like physics and art while I don't particularly get along with chemistry. I play basketball in a girls' team here in Rutigliano and I must admit that I am also quite good. In addition, I really enjoy watching football with my father and I cheer for AS Roma. I went 3 times at the Olimpic Stadium in Rome to support my team. I play the piano and I am in my third year at the ‘Piccinni’ Conservatory in Bari. I love listening to music and, apart from classical pieces, I also like pop and American rap. The singers I usually listen to are Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Adele, Drake, Travis Scott and The Weeknd. I would like to go to one of their concerts at least once in my life. I also love reading books and watching films. I could name a lot of books I've enjoyed, but my absolute favourites are the Harry Potter saga, by J.K Rowling, the ‘A Good Girl's Guide to Murder’ trilogy by Holly Jackson and ‘Better Than The Movies’, by Lynn Painter. My favourite films are also many, but my favourites are definitely ‘The Devils Wear Prada’ and ‘Ocean's Eight’. I love "Marvel Universe" too. My favourite actors are Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans. My favourite food is pizza and lasagna. I love Italian food and, although I have tried food from other cultures, I wouldn't trade it for anything else! My favourite season is winter and my favourite time of year is Christmas, even because in that period there's my birthday! One of my favourite activities to do in winter I think is to go to the cinema, because I love the atmosphere there. I like travelling the world and I am really lucky because I have already visited many European countries, such as the Netherlands, the UK, Greece, France and Austria. My favourite cities are London and Edinburgh and my favourite city in Italy is Rome. I can't wait to go to the US and visit New York. During the summer of 2024, I had my first experience as a volunteer animator in the oratory of my city. It was a wonderful experience of social and cultural enrichment. My dream is to become an mechanical engineer and work in the USA, maybe at NASA, who knows? If I had to describe myself in adjectives, I would use social, caring, altruistic, sometimes funny, stubborn, cheerful, outgoing, affectionate, hopeful and a dreamer.

Thanks for reading. Bye!

My name is Martina Montedoro, and I am 14 years old, I attend the second year of high school. I live in Noicattaro, a town in southern Italy that I love because it’s where I grew up, with my parents:

My mother: Marly, is very kind and generous ,

My father: Mariano, works at Divella in Rutigliano in the biscuits sector. He works 8 hours a day.

I’m an only child, and while I sometimes feel lonely without siblings to talk to, other times I’m happy about it. When I see my friends fighting with their brothers or sisters, I feel lucky that I don’t have that. In fact, I never asked for a brother or sister when I was younger. When I do feel lonely, I’m grateful for my many friends and my family, especially my cousins who are about the same age as me.

One of the best things about my town is that it’s only 5 minutes from the sea, which makes it easy to go to the beach every day in the summer, but during the school year, I attend a scientific high school in Rutigliano “IISS ALPI-MONTALE”. Every morning, I wake up early to catch the bus with my friends, since there are no high schools in my town. Thankfully, the bus ride only takes 10-15 minutes, and I’ve made a lot of friends in Rutigliano, especially in my class. We often hang out there on the weekends, too.

Even though I don’t have much free time because of school, I like to spend it with my family or my cousins. I don’t get to see them much during the week, except for one cousin who goes to my school. I also love watching TV series or movies. My favorite show is Gossip Girl because I’m fascinated by the characters’ lives and relationships, and I love seeing New York City. It’s my dream to visit there one day. I also enjoy listening to music, though I don’t have a favorite singer, I usually listen to whatever is trending.

Finally, I really love going out with my friends because we always have a great time together. Even just staying at home and watching a movie with them is fun. Since there’s not a lot to do in Noicattaro, we sometimes visit other towns when we hang out. Whether it’s exploring new places or just relaxing together, being with my friends always makes me happy.

Thanks!!

Hi my name is Alessia Mastrocristino; my birthday is november 5th and I’m born in 2009 so I’m 14 years old but I'll be 15 soon and I live in a little, lovely town in Puglia, Rutigliano. I  like it because we all know each other but it would be very nice if there were more places to spend the evening or to do some hobbies too, in fact we are forced to move to other cities that offer more services. Despite this, it is one of the most welcoming towns around. I like listen to music and my favourite Italian singers are Tedua and Kid Yugi, but I listen also American and British artists like Drake, Travis Scott and The Weeknd. I play volleyball in two little teams called “ Sport Centre” and “Noha Volley” and I want to continue this passion and become a  volleyball player, but if this won’t happen, I would like to do a work in science area. My family is composed by 4 people: my father Nicola, my mother Giovanna and my little brother of 11 years old, Leonardo. I attend the second year of High School in Rutigliano and my favourite subjects are English and Chemistry and I don’t really like History. My favourite food are potatoes chips, pizza and Carbonara pasta and I don’t really like some vegetables and very sweet things. When I have free time, I go out with my friends because I spend training a big part of my time. I love my friends and They are very important to me, especially my best friends. I’m a sociable and a bit messy person and I love good vibes and positive energy. My favourite season is summer because I can go to seaside and go out with my friend every day and I feel very happy.

I’m very emphathetic, ambitious and affectionate but a little short-tempered. My dream is to visit New York City, I love the vibes of that city and also how the life is there. I like its school, but the things that I prefer is the city in the Christmas period because it snows so much and all people decorate their house in Christmas theme maybe building the Christmas tree and decorating it a lot.

I like to set goals and work hard to achieve them.

Thanks for reading

I attend second year of High school

I live in a single house with my family.

My house is located in a very convenient area not far from the center of the town because in addition to being close to many food stores such as the butcher's store, greengrocer, bakery and dairy, there is also a pharmacy with a hair salon next door, then there is also a dance school and a driving school.

Also near my house is the church with the scout association next to it, which I have been attending since I was eight years old.

In fact this year I came to the fifth and final year of the ward in the scout.

The school I attend is also not very far from where I live, in fact every morning I walk to school with my friend Teresa.

My family consists of me, my father, my mother and my little brother.

My father is a lawyer works a lot every day and he likes to run a lot.

My mother, on the other hand, is an elementary school teacher and she likes walking, swimming and going to the gym a lot.

But the thing that both my parents like the most is going to the mountains.

My younger brother is in the first year of middle school and attends scouts together with me. Also, we are three and a half years apart. He does basketball and swimming and he really likes football and follows it a lot.

My brother and I also like the mountains a lot, traveling, discovering new places, in fact during the summer my family and I go on vacation to the mountains.

I am a very sunny person, kind, quite outgoing, determined, patient, empathetic, but also very indecisive, anxious, paranoid and above all very messy.

My favorite season is summer, I love it, I love the sea, the sunset, the warm summer evenings, the beach, everything about 'summer.

My favorite subject is science especially biology, I like to study everything about the human body.

I really like listening to music in fact I listen to music of every genre from Italian rap like: Tedua, Sfera Ebbasta, Coez, Lazza, Marracash, Emis Killa, Tony Boy, Kid Yugi, to American rap like: Travis Scott, Drake, Kanye west, 21 Savage...

instead of American music I like a little bit all genres from rap to pop like for example Lana del ray, the weeknd, Bruno Mars...

Now I don't do any sport however since I was a little girl I always did swimming then before the covid I stopped and I haven't resumed however still today I really like swimming especially at the sea

I don't really like to read books however I like to watch TV series in fact some of my favorite series are just outer banks, gossip girl and also Gilmore girls.

Hello, my name is Emma Lamascese, I am 14 years old and I live in Rutigliano, a town in the province of Bari.

I live with my family, which consists of my mother, my father and my sister Sveva, who is 7 years old.

I attend the scientific high school at the Alpi-Montale institute in Rutigliano.

In my spare time I like to go to the gym to keep fit, do dance and listen to music. I also like to go out with my friends, not only in Rutigliano, but also in other towns near us: for example Bari, where there are many attractions for kids like us, or Torre a Mare for a simple walk by the sea. What's more, I really enjoy going to parties.

My favourite subjects are English and maths, but in general all science subjects.

Generally, I don't like video games because they bore me.

In the future I'd like to attend business school in big cities, like Milan or Rome, because they are good universities and I'd like to experience living far from home and my family; I think it's very important in the path of growth.

Also I love very much travel, I have currently visited sixteen different nations and I went in two other continents.

I hope to meet you soon!

My life is a balance of sports, school, and family, and every day I strive to improve and pursue my dreams. In addition to soccer, I also love listening to music.

Hi everyone, I’m Antonello Samarelli, I still have 14 years but soon in January I will be 15. I was born in Acquaviva delle fonti but now I live in Rutigliano with my whole family. Rutigliano is a small town in the province of bari with not many inhabitants but so many good people. My city is well known for the production of grapes of all kinds. I live in a large building that my great grandfather built long ago, in 1974. In this condo lives my whole family which is composed of 4 people: My father Angelo, my mother Rosanna and my little brother Gabriele. My father is a very busy person but he always manages to find space for us; he has 2 jobs in our country. He works in both a factory and a craft shop, which my family has been running for a long time. My mother Rosanna is a lawyer and she does not go away very often because she always tries to work the most of times at home, so he has more time to be with us. Instead, my little brother Gabriele, is 11 years old and started the sixth grade. I am a very sporty guy, I love so much sport but especially the basketball. This sport made me know my brother a long time ago and from there I fell in love. I played in many basketball teams and this year I was lost to a very important team but I refused because it was too far from my home. For me sport is very important because it helps you to understand what to do at a certain time or to be loyal and faithful with your teammates. Besides basketball I also like to do other things, sometimes I play football with friends and sometimes I go to the skate track near my house and have fun riding my skateboard. I also like to watch a lot of sports, especially basketball games but also football. Also I love watching the most prestigious championships as European and world with my friends. This is fun. On weekends I usually go out with my friends in the evening; I spend a lot of time with them because it’s nice and they make me feel good. We go out in the main square of our country or "piazza 20 Settembre" and then we get married at a small park nearby. I like to listen to all kinds of music and sometimes dance on some tracks. My favorite genre is the American rap of the west side, next to the Italian rap and disco music. My favorite singer are lil tjay, 50cent, biggie, 2pac, shiva, capoplaza, tedua and neima. I am a boy who often travels with his family in fact I have gone to different parts of the world. I visited almost all the regions of Italy, I miss only Venice, then I went several times to France in Marseille, Paris and Disneyland when I was a little boy, in Switzerland in Lugano with my cousins from Milan who showed us the beautiful place, In Spain in Madrid which for me is the most beautiful city of the whole world, in Malta, a small island and soon I will go to Greece and Turkey. I love to travel. I can’t say that my favorite subject is geography, in fact even if I like it a little bit I prefer math and science. In the future I don’t know what I can become, I hope an engineer or a lawyer like my mother. The important thing is that with my work I will be able to travel around the world. Thank you for reading, bye bye!

I’m Giuseppe, I’m 15, I live in Noicattaro but I attend the Scientific course at “Alpi-Montale” in Rutigliano, a very close town to mine. I live in my family’s block of flats with my mom, my dad and my sister.

My mom Maria is the executive officer of the school. She deals with all the commercial procedures and she comes after the headmistress. She is cute, gentle, polite, but also very determined to do whatever she wants.

My dad Antonio, or how he’s called “Tonio”, is a farmer. He grows grapes as they are the the base of Noicattaro’s economy and profit. He is very polite, he wants my sister and me to be good and achieve our dreams.

My sister Ilaria attends Law course of studies at University. She is steadfast and even though she hasn’t got any previous studies of Law, she has succeeded in all her exams. She is a little touchy, but she is a nice person.

I have got a dog, Kira, but she stays in a garden as my mother is a little afraid of her. My dad found her while he was in the fields and he noticed a small ball of fur that stayed all the day with him. He couldn’t let her go, so he took her and brought to my granny’s house. As I got there, I saw her and I started crying tears of joy. But when my sister saw her she couldn’t leave her and we kept her.

Finally there’s me! I’m determined, polite, brave and very ambitious, or at least I think so! I love computers and everything that regards Informatics. I like watching TV series and films and reading development books as I would like to become the CEO of an Informatics and Robotics company. I would like to continue studying Informatics at University and go and live in New York in the future.

Hope we’ll see you soon!

Hi, my name is Francesca Demarinis and less than a week ago I turned 15, on 9th october 2009. I was born at the Polyclinic in Bari but now I live with my family in Rutigliano, a small town in the province of Bari. Rutigliano doesn't have many inhabitants in fact everyone here knows each other but at least it's a quiet town, known for the production of various types of grapes. I lived for fifteen years in a house located in the center of Rutigliano but in June I moved to a villa outside Rutigliano, on the outskirts, towards Mola. I live with my mother Carmela, her partner Luca, my sister Mariagiovanna and my pincer toy Zoe. However, I also see my father every day and I decide who to spend the weekend with. My best friend Sara and I are united by the elementary school that we started in 2015, only a few years ago my father and her mother told us that they were together. it wasn't a shock, in fact i was happy right away because my father was happy and this brought me and sara even closer together. i am a true lover of the holidays because i love being with my family. i am particularly close to my maternal aunt teresa, who i have called "teta" since i was little. in july last year i was confirmed and she was my godmother. in the family there are many cousins, for this reason every now and then we guys  have lunch alone with our grandmother, one of the people i love the most. my grandfather died 5 years ago, in 2019 and for me it was one of the greatest pains, because i have always been very close to my maternal grandparents. my grandfather accompanied me everywhere and made everything easy for me, he was like a second dad. in the third year of middle school i was very undecided about which high school to choose. All the teachers advised me to take the scientific one and even if sometimes i regret it i think i made the right choice. Since i was little i have done many sports like volleyball, judo, classical, modern and contemporary dance, hip hop, archery and figure skating. a year ago i quit figure skating and now i train in the gym three times a week. i live the week waiting for the weekend just to go out with my group of friends. usually we spend time outside rutigliano like in bari, but sometimes we stay in rutigliano. if i have to talk about myself i consider myself an empathetic person and present for everyone but unfortunately i often let myself be influenced by the discomforts of others, making them mine, and i consider this a flaw. i love traveling and watching tv series like riverdale, teen wolf, pretty little liars, outer banks and much more. thanks for reading, bye bye

Hi there, my name is Stefano and my surname is Colucci. I'm 14 (though in a month I’ll be 15) and I'm an Italian guy. I was born in Acquaviva and now I live in Noicattaro, a small and quiet town of Apulia, one of the twenty Italian regions.

Noicattaro is famous for its grapple trade, for its traditions and for its cultural events.

I live in a house which is located in “Via Oberdan”, near Piazza Umberto I, in the  historic center of the town, and near the Alcide Degasperi elementary school that I used to attend when I was a child.

I live here with my family: my father Giovanni, who works in the field, my mother Maria, who helps children during the afternoon with homework, and my little sister Rita, a really funny girl who really loves dancing.

At home we also have a little goldfish named Gustav or Gus and a little canary, a small species of bird that sings from day to night, 24/7.

I'm not a really sporty guy, in fact I don’t practice any sport although I used to practice basket some years ago and I intend to start again, perhaps with gym.

I describe myself as kind, reliable, I am also a person who tries to give all he can whenever he can. I also consider myself stubborn and perhaps even a little paranoid. In addition, I get very attached to those who are nice to me and I always try to reciprocate everything, be it a favour or a positive attitude towards me.

Unfortunately, I am also a very, very anxious guy and I get caught up in anxiety and worries very easily.

One good thing, however, is that anxiety, despite being very present, has never prevented me from doing something I want to do and, even if with some difficulty, I always manage to accomplish something I want to do.

I have some hobbies: I really love playing music, in fact I play the keyboard and I’d like to learn to play guitar; I also love listening to music and in fact I spend hours and hours listening to music. I don’t have a favorite music gender and I listen to them all.

I also like reading and I have a lot of books at home and I spend a lot of time reading. I love reading books about science or historical Venetians, real or imaginary.

I love to hang out with my friends and my family whenever I can because I really like to stay with others outside and I love walking a lot, spending time chatting with others.

I don't really like playing video games or other similar things, because I think that it’s better to stay in contact in real life than in a fake and imaginary life and also because I spend a lot of time doing my homework or practicing music. A thing that I always hate is dancing: I hate doing that because I fell ridiculous while I'm doing it.

I don't like playing football or swimming.

I've never traveled outside of my country and, because of that, I'd like to visit some different nations or towns around the world, like Warsaw or Ottawa or Moscow or Dublin, the city of my dreams.

Regarding food, I really like the food of my country, such as pizza, spaghetti and mussels or risotto, but I hate peppers, peans and chickpeas.

In the past three years I've attended the Nicola Pende middle school and my favourite subjects are science, math, english and geohistory.

Two years ago I chose to attend the “Alpi-Montale” school because it has the scientific course and I think that this course prepare students 360° on all subjects and because, even if i already know what my future job will be, if I  will change my choice, i would be ready to face it.

My principal ambitions for the future are: going to live in a foreign country like Poland or Ireland and became an astrophysicist.

Thanks for your time.

Hello!
My name is Veronica Latrofa. I'm 15 years old and I was born on the 7th of October in Putignano. I'm from Italy and I live in Noicattaro, a small town in Apulia in the South of Italy, near Bari.

I live at home with my mother and my sister Greta and with a lot of pets: a dog, a gold fish, a hamster and three parrots.

I attend scientific high school in Rutigliano, a small town not far from Noicattaro. Two years ago I chose this school because I'm interested in Math and Science, but I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Now my favorite subjects are Math, Science and Epic.

I love listening to music and I listen to all kinds of music and I also love singing. I also like reading books and I read a lot of books, for example fantasy books or science books. I also love drawing, especially faces.

Two years ago I used to do athletics, but now I don't do it anymore because I don't like it anymore.

I spend a lot of time doing homework and in my free time I go out with my friends or with my family.

I’m Giuseppe, I’m 15, I live in Noicattaro but I attend the Scientific course at “Alpi-Montale” in Rutigliano, a very close town to mine. I live in my family’s block of flats with my mom, my dad and my sister.

My mom Maria is the executive officer of the school. She deals with all the commercial procedures and she comes after the headmistress. She is cute, gentle, polite, but also very determined to do whatever she wants.

My dad Antonio, or how he’s called “Tonio”, is a farmer. He grows grapes as they are the the base of Noicattaro’s economy and profit. He is very polite, he wants my sister and me to be good and achieve our dreams.

My sister Ilaria attends Law course of studies at University. She is steadfast and even though she hasn’t got any previous studies of Law, she has succeeded in all her exams. She is a little touchy, but she is a nice person.

I have got a dog, Kira, but she stays in a garden as my mother is a little afraid of her. My dad found her while he was in the fields and he noticed a small ball of fur that stayed all the day with him. He couldn’t let her go, so he took her and brought to my granny’s house. As I got there, I saw her and I started crying tears of joy. But when my sister saw her she couldn’t leave her and we kept her.

Finally there’s me! I’m determined, polite, brave and very ambitious, or at least I think so! I love computers and everything that regards Informatics. I like watching TV series and films and reading development books as I would like to become the CEO of an Informatics and Robotics company. I would like to continue studying Informatics at University and go and live in New York in the future.

Hope we’ll see you soon!

Good morning, I'm Michele, I'm a sporty and sunny guy, I like to relate to everyone and always help others, I live in Rutigliano I'm 15 years old and I am 5’9 feet tall. I play soccer in a team in Noicattaro, I play in central defense and I hope I can continue to practice sports. My family consists of 4 people: me, my sister, my mother and my father and my dog Ray. I really like playing video games on my phone and also on my playstation 5. I mainly play fighting or war games but also some science fiction games. I love listening to music of the moment, but also British Spanish songs and much more. My favorite color and I love to wear black on almost every occasion. I love watching the games of my favorite team (SSC BARI) and I hope that one day I will be able to play for that team, it would be a dream!!! As a child I played two instruments, the piano and the trumpet but unfortunately I had to leave because it took a long time and with the study I couldn't do anything else. I played basketball for 3 years and practiced pool until 4 years ago. I'm very happy that I had this opportunity to participate in this project and I really hope to come to Belgium so as to make friends with all of you and if you want we could stay in touch on Instagram.
