| My name: | Catia Perletta |

When I discovered that I can see colored, I thought: I'm crazy. I'm a person with synaesthesia, a strange anomaly of our brain. It is beautiful I can see colored, I CAN SEE colored people's names and the days of the week. For me my brain is like a mixer for letters and colors, and when I hear the name of a person, the mixer switches on and everything is stirred up. When I hear a name, I see red, yellow, black, white, orange, grey figures. The colors that prevail are: red and yellow. If I hear MASSIMO, I see red figures, if I hear SUNDAY I SEE white figures. My life is very colored, I LIKE it very much to draw my synaesthetic experiences, and I like very much to collect colors. The life of a person with synaesthesia is not like that of a normal person. When I FEEL a name or a day of the week I SEE a beautiful and colored world, I HAVE a good memory and I REMEMBER that my childhood was very colored, too. |
