At
first I used to change my name, although every time I met
a person whom I already knew I revealed my identity.
It wasn't so much a desire to deceive other people as an attempt
to feel somehow different while remaining myself.
So these were some of the names: eagle, seagull, sunflower,
sea ....
I spoke for a long time about these things with an American
woman and an Italian man. They advised me to always use the
same form of identification while I tried to make them understand
my reasons.
Moral: one day,since I couldn't make up my mind, the others
chose my nickname: Giro (Giro = short for Girotondo (Ring-a-ring)
