Astounding Quagliapsace, i.e. the strange world of Roberto Quaglia

Like everybody's mental space, Astounding Quagliaspace is an unique reflex of Universe, whatever Universe is outside anybody's mind. Traveling through Quagliaspace is in a way as coming in touch with Roberto Quaglia himself, whatever Roberto Quaglia may be outside of himself. Everything that one meets in Quagliaspace belongs to The Roberto Quaglia Experience, whatever this is, whatever this seems or seems not to be, whatever is left when someone called Quaglia exists and doesn't hide it - which would be of no use. The virtual space where you feel to be in this very moment (are you or are you not convinced to be "on the Internet"), sucked into the monitor where your eyes and mind are already lost, is just only one of the most microscopic and insignificant extensions of the only, real, vaste, whole and complex Astounding Quagliaspace, something which has been invented by Roberto Quaglia inside his own mind, so that his mind could invent Roberto Quaglia. A trick which is working and lasting. The miracle of the creation of oneself from the nothing, and even more of the re-creation of oneself from the previous release of one's own identity. Have a good lunch.

...he had decided to live forever or die in the attempt.
(Joseph Heller)

Take your life into your hands! Chose yourself the kind of mental confusion you hant to be subjected to! The videos are mostly on Italian, so your confuision might be smoothed.
SATIRE	Apparently, many people enjoy satire. I've never really understood what's that about, but I may have done something like that once or twice. Sooner or later, we all do something like that. But don't forget afterwards to flush the toilet.
FRIENDS	As well as people that I simply know or ignore. Geniouses or scoundrels or none of them or both of them. Well, something in a way like mankind, but more little. Or greater - I'm always confused on that, probably by intention. But who cares?

TASTE	A banal listing of what I like. One of those things that you usually would put on your homepage to semplify your own personality in the eyes of the impatient surfer.
BOOKSTORE	Sooner or later I'll put here a selection of great books which would make your life more beautiful, if only you would read them. Meanwhile, there is already something, but I don't remember what.
POSTERS	If everything is boring for you, maybe you need to hang a poster inside your little room. Maybe a poster with a big fat impending ass. Or rather, something less fine.
SPLASH PAGE	There are also imbecils who can't properly orient themselves in a website and they always finish ending up on the splash page again and again. This link is meant to help them.

	PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
	Don't be scared of entering Quagliaspace! By now it's too late anyway. If you didn't stop reading, you're inside. Warning: Astounding Quagliaspace has negative side-effects only for mummies, and has often resulted lethal for corpses. Also zombies may get hurt. If you are still reading, certainly you are not a corpse, probably not a mummy, and perhaps not even a zombie. Or maybe you are. Who knows? Who cares? So be welcome in Astounding Quagliaspace! And if you like it, suggest it to you friends in flesh and to your friends in electrons. Put links to this site on your homepage, if you have one, and eventually also if you have none. Don't forget that at seven you are waited where you well know for a good pee.	...well, and this is just to start. If Internet won't crash, if the World won't crash, if the Solar System won't crash, if the Milky Way won't crash, if the Universe won't crash, if Roberto Quaglia won't crash, Astounding Quagliaspace will ever grow, ever gaining more and more the abstract status of Incredible Place... or maybe not, i.e. the absolute contrary of that as well as the contrary of the contrary of the contrary of all that. Your brain has turned into pudding? Wonderful! It's more digestible like this. You'd always beware of words, the Troian Horse of All Mystifications! On the other side, I had anyway to write something here, to ensure that this portion of text occupies an analogue area of the one on the left. I don't think that more words are necessary.

Beyond the myth of himself, starting from today Roberto Quaglia is existing also in real time, at least theoretically. Yes! This is QUAGLIACAM™ . The picture on the righ is probably the latest existing image of Roberto Quaglia. With a bit of luck (or unluck), you may see what RQ (which by the way is me) is doing right now. When the QUAGLIACAM is on, image is refreshed every 5 minutes. When it's off, you see the latest recoded pic. If the chair is empty, then what you are seing it's not me. The date and hour of the photo is relative to the planet and time zone where I actually am spending my time. Very rarely it's Italy. However, many visitors has remarked that often the image hasn't been refreshed for eight or nine ~~months.~~ years. I believe them, and so you have to. I'm too wisely lazy to control if I have a working webcam in my surroundings. Actually, often there isn't any.
