Fabrizio Musacchio

Fabrizio works as a scientist and lives in Cologne, Germany, EU.

An aluminum aerial delivery unit left behind by the Americans in 1945 became the ship in which young Hartmut daringly set sail with a companion.

Wear a Mask

Daring Fireball’s John Gruber doesn’t get tired from repeating it: Wearing a face mask keeps the virus from spreading, and we agree.
