A monk was walking alongside a stream when he saw a scorpion struggling in the water. Knowing that scorpions cannot swim, he knelt down to scoop it out of the water.

Just before setting it down, the scorpion turned and stung his hand. The monk withdrew his hand in pain and the scorpion fell back into the stream.

A little boy who was playing near the stream asked the monk, “Why do you try to save the scorpion? It just stung you!”

The monk, picking up a leaf and rescuing the scorpion successfully this time, replied, “Dear friend, just as it is a scorpion’s nature to sting, so it is my nature to feel compassion. Don’t forget, soon either I’ll stop feeling the pain of the sting and he will be saved, or he will stop being afraid and be saved. Compassion cannot be stopped so easily.”

MAIN activities

I always wanted to write a book… now the first one is live! In English and Italian.

You can find my first novel, a thriller ambiented in Venice Italy here

Venice is a city of masks: opulent, romantic, and drenched in secrets.

Angela, a young Portuguese woman, has spent her life trying to be invisible. As a cleaner at the city’s most exclusive restaurant, she drifts through the shadows, scrubbing floors and daydreaming of a better life. She knows her place is to be unseen.

She cleans their floors. She never expected to clean their consciences.

In the concealed kitchens of Venice, flavors and horrors share the same recipe. When Angela stumbles upon a macabre discovery plated for the elite, her invisibility becomes her only shield. She has found a secret that the city would kill to keep quiet.

Teaming up with Michela, a tenacious police commissioner, Angela must step out of the shadows to expose a monster who believes himself untouchable. But in a city built on silence, the truth has a price.

The Flavor of Sin is a psychological noir about what it takes to be seen—and the deadly cost of unmasking a killer.
