Cinema, code and other detours

Welcome to Mastorna

An imaginary city where I collect things I study, build and want to remember.

Mastorna is imagined as a sad and beautiful city made of dreams, dust, paper and madness: a useless place where no one lives, loves, works, hates or dies.

The original Italian text is taken from this video on YouTube.

Where does Mastorna come from?


About me

Mastorna is the username I have always used online. It comes from my love of cinema, magical realism and sliding doors: Il viaggio di G. Mastorna detto Fernet is one of the most famous films never made. It was meant to be a journey through a confusing, surreal afterlife.

Since adolescence I had also known that something about me was different. After many years and a long personal journey, I understood that I am transgender. I began hormone therapy on July 7, 2026.


What I do

I work in web development and have made small games and experimental digital artworks.
