Hi, and welcome to **Strani Anelli**. My name is Samuele, and I started this blog in October 2015, driven by a single, great passion: stories. Whether they are found between the pages of a book, hidden in computer code, or painted on a sheet of paper, I believe stories are the best way to explore the world and ourselves. I am an omnivorous reader with a love for science fiction, but I'm always ready to explore essays, biographies, and short story collections. On this blog, you will find my thoughts on what I'm reading, forays into the world of technology (a legacy from my past as a programmer), and, more recently, some experiments with pencils and watercolors. By day, I work with maps and geographical data for the Municipality of Milan. In my free time, besides reading and writing, I am venturing into the world of drawing — a new and fascinating journey. This space is my digital notebook, a place to collect thoughts and discoveries. I hope you find something of interest here. **Where to Find Me** You can also find me elsewhere online: - **Instagram:** [https://www.instagram.com/eleumus/](https://www.instagram.com/eleumus/) - **Bluesky:** [https://bsky.app/profile/el3um4s.bsky.social](https://bsky.app/profile/el3um4s.bsky.social) - **GitHub:** [https://github.com/el3um4s](https://github.com/el3um4s) - **Medium:** [https://medium.com/@el3um4s](https://medium.com/@el3um4s) For any inquiries, the blog's email is: `[email protected]`
