Hello guys, my name is Marco, 39 years old, living in Rome (Italy), and of course I'm a philatelist.

I collect two main topics:
1) Geology (minerals, rocks, mining, volcanoes, earthquakes, ...), in Thematic Philately (best award: G)
2) the Vesuvian Funicular, in Postal History (best award: LV)

You can see the first exhibit in the CIFT website:
http://www.cift.it/modules.php?name...d=70&idl=eng

You can see the second exhibit on CIFT website too:
http://www.cift.it/modules.php?name...d=71&idl=eng
but you can browse my website too:
http://www.funicolarevesuviana.it/

I'm a national Thematic juror, too, and often I'm a Federal Commissioner in several exhibitions. I write articles and cronicles in some magazines, too.

Since some weeks I joined the APS as that I met all the staff at the last StampShow in Columbus.

Nice to meet all of you.

Benvenuto Marco!

Happy to have you join us here.

Geology would make for an interesting Thematic collection.

As for rocks, etc...

Dave.

Well, all I can say is....

WHEN I was but thirteen or so
I went into a golden land,
Chimborazo, Cotopaxi
Took me by the hand.

My father died, my brother too,
They passed like fleeting dreams,
I stood where Popocatapetl
In the sunlight gleams.

I dimly heard the master's voice
And boys far-off at play,
Chimborazo, Cotopaxi
Had stolen me away.

I walked in a great golden dream
To and fro from school--
Shining Popocatapetl
The dusty streets did rule.

I walked home with a gold dark boy,
And never a word I'd say,
Chimborazo, Cotopaxi
Had taken my speech away:

I gazed entranced upon his face
Fairer than any flower--
O shining Popocatapetl
It was thy magic hour:

The houses, people, traffic seemed
Thin fading dreams by day,
Chimborazo, Cotopaxi
They had stolen my soul away!
