Hello there! My name is Matelda Codagnone – aka Deda – or Speedy Mat… (as someone used to call me).

Everybody keeps asking me the origin of my name. “Dante!” I answer. She is the woman the Poet meets in Paradise before Beatrice. But friends just call me Deda!

I am Abruzzese and I simply adore Flaiano (Italian scriptwriter, journalist and humorist) and his smart, ironic and free mindset.
