Get To Know Andrea & Massimo
These interviews were filmed when the two were guests of Scherzi a Parte this past year. In them we find out what they do when they're not working, what their strengths and weaknesses are & what the internet means to them. And as per Niloo's request for more translations, they have been translated (any errors in translation are all mine; feel free to point them out).
And as always, if you have any suggestions or ideas for the comm you are most encouraged to share them as Niloo did and we will do our best to acommodate you.

Q: What do you do when you're not working? How do you spend your free time?

Q: Do you have your own website?
A: Yes. www.massimooddo.com and right now it's not exactly functioning but it'll be up-and-running soon and it'll be available for everyone.
