Mentale Vs Fisico

Marcello: “Guarda: sono arrivato a leggere fino a pag. 2, poi ero

talmente stufo di masturbarmi mentalmente per capire cosa volevi dire

col tuo inglese, che ho preferito andare in bagno e farlo fisicamente…”

” ……. ” I AM NOT ABLE TO TRANSLATE IT IN ENGLISH!

Ciampoli M, Petrini F. (2011). “Performance-Based Aeolian Risk assessment and reduction for tall buildings”,

Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics, 28, 75–84.

Io: “Professore: ha letto la bozza del paper che le ho mandato?”

“Did you read the draft of the paper?

Marcello: “Ma certo!”;

“yes of course!”

Io: “Bè? Che ne pensa?”

“And what is your feeling about it?

... Durante l’ultimo periodo, Marcello era un pò arrabbiato con me … ancora oggi non ne conosco il vero

motivo. Lo avevo invitato piu volte a prendere un caffè insieme, per capire. Ma lui aveva (molto signorilmente)

declinato. Alla fine avevo deciso di non insistere, e di aspettare il tempo di cui aveva bisogno per perdonarmi e

spiegarmi…… ma purtroppo questo tempo non ce lo abbiamo avuto.

Anche io mi ero arrabbiato con lui! Ma voglio dirgli che ora non lo sono più!

During the last period, I realized that he was little bit

angry with me. I never understood the motivation

and he did not explain me. I tried to take a coffee

with him in order to speak about it, but he declined

(always in a very polite way). I finally decided to not

make pressure on him and to allow him to

take his time. But, unfortunately this time was not

allowed. I was also angry with him!

But I would like to say that I am not still angry

with him NOW!

Un caro ringraziamento a MARCELLO CIAMPOLI,

che mi ha insegnato veramente tanto sulla ricerca ma che, soprattutto,

mi ha insegnato che non bisogna mai prendersi troppo sul serio.

I would like to give my acnowledgments to Marcello Ciampoli He taught me

many things regarding the scientific research, but the most valuable of

these is the importance of not taking myself too seriously
