thanks to
about web support, you can find here on the right menu the most valuable things I've used; I' ve had the the most visible help from Cristian Galletti, who is a great web designer and made the blue theme and this layout for me, some time ago.
in life you can't go anywhere without good basis, so I've tried to explain in detail: what CMS I've choosen, what operating system is in use here and where this place is physically hosted.
I want to stop here the technical and boring notes; now comes the true "thanks you".
thanks to my wife, who sees me (on a lot of evenings), clicking and writing on a silent screen even if I'm at home (after being writing and clicking for all day at work).
thanks to my family, for all that has been until now.
thanks to my digital tenants, for being still here in our web experience. thanks to my friends, some more real and some quite virtual (distance, you know).
last but not least, thank you too, because you've come here.

why this so-strange name seventhwave?
latins had this proverb: nomen omen, the name is a sign. in fact, even if sometimes it seems only a random event, a name often carry on a definite meaning, add weight or reveal a hidden detail of who (or which) has this name.
in anglo-american societies there's an expression, every seventh wave; this is a common belief which tells us about sneaker waves, the great waves.
sometimes happens that you'll see waves bigger than usual, and in some cultures people say that they have definite places and characteristics, and in particular you can see them regularly every seventh wave. so, this proverb don't talk to us about a real fact, but instead make us think about "something stronger than all".
there's a book, Papillon, in which the author tells us the story of a prisoner in French Guyana. and the book says that "studying the waters around the island, Charrière discovered a rocky inlet surrounded by a high cliff that caused a phenomenon to occur in the water currents. He realized that every seventh wave would be large enough to carry something on the water far enough out into the sea to drift towards the mainland".
all of us know that everyone has a favourite singer: mine is Sting, and I take the idea from an old lyrics of him... so, now read the final rows of Love is the seventh wave:
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand
I say love is the seventh wave
