Typical multiple personality. Misunderstood. Rough. Tireless traveler and disillusioned dreamer, irreparably lost in days and journeys. Has met millions of people, some still remembered, the most have been erased. Speaks 3 languages plus a couple of dialects, has half a dozen degrees shoved between his cheeks, and is romantic and cynical, instinctive and rational, fierce and defenseless. Listens to music even in the toilet, a classic form of congenital illness. Has received more than given, also due to an unsolvable incapacity to love. Roams like a nomad around the desolate lands of the world. Sometimes only among millions, other times like among millions but alone.

I WILL ALSO MAKE A LIST OF 100 FILMS LIKE POLETTI AND BECOME POPULAR ON DEBASER!
If I had been an artist, I would be one of these three: Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake or Tom Barman. The first two are playing chess (if what they say is even true) with the creator; the third is still alive but he doesn’t feel so well either.
Nick was born in Naples (Na-pù-le) to a southern father and an unknown mother.
At 10 years old, he saw the Madonna carrying the bambino under the crib at Santa Chiara to see a dEUS concert and was so struck that he decided to vote.
At 20 he becomes a writer, among his major successes "Che bello essere vergine" and "Pornornitorinco".
He begins to travel the world, and - when he’s no longer satisfied with the world - he will be found dead on the planet GB203 when, while teaching rotational motion to aliens, he gets stuck with his head in the bicycle's spokes.
He will be Saint, under the name of Saint Tom Barman from Secondigliano.
In the photo the character is tenderly embraced by Maria Taylor of Azure Ray, simply the most beautiful girl in the world.
