| This
section was opened in occasion of this website's 5th anniversary.
It tells about my story from the days that i can remember. Every time
I come to remember something i update this: It has been very exciting
from the beginning as I guessed how fast time flows and how easy I forget
things and thier importance in my life. I think this one will become
the most important page of the website, even if it is exclusively personal;
but it is rich of memories and rich of myself. And it will help me to
keep in mind all the people who contributed to this fantastic, but finite,
game that is my life.
1974
- I
was born on the 15th of September 1974, from Ugo Lapelazzuli and Anna
Langella
-
In
June/July I finish the 'scoula media', lower high school, preparing
the last exam so intensively that I get ill soon after it. I can
remember a part of it, related to the French Revolution
-
In
September I move from the suburbian San Giorgio a Cremano to the
metropolitan Neaples, to attend the High School. VII ITIS.
-
Salvatore
Luongo, Salvio, a school mate,
becomes my best friend. He will remain my best friend and still
now he is.
I
can still remenber the first days at high school when I came back
very late from the city center, exausted and scared, with a lot
of homeworks to do while all my friends were already free to play
in out the street.
-
SSC
Napoli wins its first 'scudetto', with Maradona leading the team.
So far but i can remember the joy explosion in the city, and all
the parties my parents and friends organized in the street, ith
the fireman 'il pompiere' Esposito organizing the huge fireworks
situation in the street down my neighborhood that had to be evaquated!
One phrase I remember of Franco, a cousin of my mother and a Napoli
big fan: 'Gianni you are so young and so lucky: to watch this happening
I had to wait for 30 years'
1988
-
I
take part to one of the trip which will more then everything influence
my life and forever remain in my memory: I go to London! South Woodford
Queen Mary College....where i meet Giovanni G. who'll become one
of my best friends, where I give my first kiss and have my first
girlfiend...I can still remember those emotions so deep.
Always
in London, I ate my first Mc Donalds Cheesburger!
-
Always
in London, I teke part to a Talent Contest singing 'Il gatto e la
volpe' by E. Bennato, achieving great success. This was the moment,
the precise moment, when I started singing as an hobby. Since this
moment i never stopped singing.
-
I
am one of the best students of the classroom. It is during this
period that I discover to be good indeed in Maths and Phisycs. I
can still remember Prof. Giovanni Starita, and the Maths Prof. Romano
Gatto who with his teaching methods would make grow in me of of
the greatest passions of my life: Mathematics. This passion will
be the 'fuel', the driving force behind my fast University career...
-
I
have a season ticket to watch SSC Napoli and Maradona at San Paolo
Stadium: we were me, my father Ugo, Dario sometimes, Franco, Totonno
and his son. Mates...the things we have seen you cannot imagine:
Diego Armando Maradona, you know, you gave me joy and shoewd to
me what I thought could never be one. Why, why, why is this all
passed? why memories are the only things remaining and slowly fading
away themselvels too? I hope this few lines will help me to never
forget!
1989

the second consecutive year I go to London at the South Woodford
Queen Mary College, for a sort of study vacation. Me and Kiki M.,
a greek girl, become friends; she'll come to visit me in Neaples
