While developing this web-site I encountered one of those little tipical annoying bugs that characterize Internet Explorer. Even if version 8 is a much better browser than versions 6 and 7, it still sucks under many points of view if compared to other modern browsers like Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera.

It never took me so much time to build a web-site in my life.
I started to work on this web-site in the summer of 2008 but unfortunately, due to high amount of work and personal problems I've never had time to finish it. Recently I finally had the chance to finish it but unfortunately I didn't like the original design anymore, so I redesigned it again.
Now I am almost close to launch it and I am very satisfied.
