Welcome on my site. I am Giuseppe Copparoni named Grandepino (Greatpine).
How was I born? Normal, but in Rome! (Italy) As you can see I am italian and I know English or American, as you prefer, not so well. Therefore excuse me and, please, do not hesitate to advise me if my english is excessively invented.
I worked for several years into an airline company as Performance Engineer.
First balloon flight in the 1986 and from that time my life is changed. I took my pilot licence in the 1989, realizing and managing for two years the magazine "HOBBY VOLO".
I like very much the photography that I develop and print by myself with a great happiness of my wife.
I fly a VIVA 77 balloon with the colours of my city.
And now stop talking around me and let's go flying balloons.
