2. Introduction
About me:
I've got a "fresh" degree in environmental planning and policies, at the IUAV
University of Venice. I come from Latina, a sunny city in the middle of Italy.
I love my city, even if urban life quality is quite low, due to a lack of environmental
urban policies.
The city: LATINA
Latina is a young city: it was founded on 1932 during the fascism era.
It¡®s characterized by the ?rational architecture¡°, as you will see later.
Latina¡®s weather it¡®s often sunny, warm, not much rain, and you can take your bike
to go wherever you want: any slope, because the territory of Latina was a swamp
before Latina was settled.
In ist entourage you can find: the CirceoNational Park and, inside, the Fogliano
Lake.
My Stylistic Q550: a great companion, light, small, perfect for a life on
