Apeiron (italiano)
Sweet, constant travel companion in the delicate (and how hard) enterprise of gaining space in the crazy world of writing. Valid both as a writer (they say, with reason, that he writes like a woman, signifying how much he has managed to penetrate feminine psychology), but also as a collaborator (he writes for a local, venetian review).

Giove (italiano)
Creative humorist specialized in satire under whose keyboard no one could ever escape; his interests are quite varied and, let me say, weird (but in a pleasant and intriguing sort of sense): mathematics (and relative humor), Alice in Wonderland, which he has beautifully translated into Italian, and ultimately sex. From his site you may meander yourself beyond the outer limits of mathematics...

Snake (italiano)
Hissing about on the Net, this narrative poet has scattered about his sensual, introverted moods and flights of fantasy. Don't let him push you about; although his ways are rather rough, his soul is gentle, tender and... well, a snake's charm.

Adèle Blanc-Sec (français)
Oh I do love this woman! This is Adèle's official home page, Jacques Tardi's famous heroine. From here you can enter the strange and obscure world of monsters and eeevil scientists, as well as mummies, undercover investigators, and such like. If you already know and love Tardi's work, you'll appreciate this site; if, on the contrary, you don't, I strongly recommend you do pay a visit: you'll be charmed. Side benefits: free downloads (desktops, cards, whatever), Tardi's bio, links, etc. Adèle's latest adventure, "Le mystère des profondeurs," was for a time available online for a free download. Unfortunately, this is no longer true, sigh. Hopefully, Tardi won't be late in producing a new, exciting adventure of Adele...

Hopper Gallery (italiano)
I know, yet another Italian site, but besides concentrating on Italian literature (from Cecco Angiolieri to D'Annunzio and Pascoli), there is an entire section on Hopper which is truly worth a visit.

Monty Python
Need I tell you who they are? :-) Obviously not, but if you are a fan, like I am, you'll waste hours of your invaliable time cruising through these infrmative and amusing sites. To begin with, this "official site": files, sounds, chat, and gadgets galore; then their individual pages, each bearing a very personal imprint. Then you can move on to the BBC site on MP, containing the most substantial dbase on the group. Finally, among the zillions sites, I think the best and most interesting are: pythonet.org, i.e., a whole bunch of free stuff; the unofficial site, lots of sketches and recordings; Alt.Fan.Monty-Python Newsgroup FAQ; and last, but not least, a rather exhaustive list of python books (not the language, sorry Alex!). Also: Ultimate Monty Python Web Site, where you can also find "the Ruttles" lyrics and music (a rarity).

Dilbert
Scott Adams' creatures have been relieving us from daily stress now for years and, although one cannot refrain from wincing on the extreme merchandising built around Dilbert, it is still comforting to be a member of Dogbert's New Ruling Class!
