Federico Riva (1973 - ?) was born in Monza (Italy).
He took a degree in Philosophy at the University of Milan and since then has invented and internationally patented a search engine semantic system. He currently lives and works in the Southern area of Thailand and is reputed to be a first-rate "web marketing guru".
He married in Brazil in 2003 and is still waiting to be granted his divorce (since 2007), although he has no idea where his wife is.
Federico Riva has been writing and publishing aphorisms from the tender age of 17, but this is his first ever work completely dedicated to women, (wives in particular): a collection of 555 aphorisms written over a period of twenty years of life and three of marriage, which can almost make the author the most likeable misogynist alive.
