Bongiorno Serafino,
Here is a small question, the pronunciation of your name. Which syllable or
syllable have the accents? Is the i the long e?
Ross is simple enough to pronounce, Finlayson is pronounced Fin le son.
I was reading your post about time so was reading some other posts.
A friend of mine, Alejandro Cepeda, you remind me of him.
