Sorry for my inactivity between December 2018 and January 2019, and between November 2019 and March 2021, I’ve had since then some trouble with an anon, and still might not always be active. You can find some of my earliest contributions here, but I have used a large number of IPs throughout the period.

		The Translation Barnstar
		Thank you for your complete and awesome translation of the Featured Article Elcor, Minnesota for the Italian Wikipedia. This language was one in particular I wished to have the article translated since many of the immigrants to this community were originally from Italy! DrGregMN (talk) 19:48, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

		The Linguistic Barnstar
		For assisting me in recent times and offering advice, as well as the work you do in general for linguistics here. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 13:19, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

		The Original Barnstar
		I wanted to give you a barnstar, but I wasn't sure for what. You've made a lot of good edits across Wikipedia, from fixing CS1 params to writing all the ESC 2022 participation articles. You totally deserve an award for all of that! Merry Christmas! ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 00:06, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

	The Original Barnstar
	I know we didn't agreed on some little things but I still want to award you this order for your tireless and great contributions in articles related to Eurovision. Keep going mate :) Iaof2017 (talk) 12:34, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

	The Eurovision Barnstar
	For your labours regarding Eurovision articles. I prefer 12 points instead of this but my country did not join the competition anymore :) Grazie Emreculha (talk) 00:52, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

		The Music Barnstar
		For your great contributions to Sanremo Music Festival-related articles, and this year's edition Sanremo Music Festival 2024. Can't wait to watch the show =) Broc (talk) 14:57, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

★ CIAO, and benvenuti to my user page! ★

Let me introduce myself: I am a guy from northern Italy with a passion for languages; I attended liceo linguistico, the University of Milan, and the Orientale University of Naples, and can speak Italian, Western Lombard, French, Spanish, English, as well as to a certain extent Arabic and Japanese. I often add or correct as many IPA pronunciations as I can here on Wikipedia; I was also very active on Wiktionary for a while, until I realized some of my indiscriminate editing was seriously damaging the project—you’ve got to learn from your mistakes. My interest in the Eurovision Song Contest has more recently (i.e. when I finally witnessed my country triumph) pushed me to be more involved in editing and creating articles related to the event.

Feel free to hit me up anytime!
