Nobel Valeriano di Rossi

Pronunciation guide: Here's how to properly pronounce my first name, "Valeriano", with an Italian accent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqp5vA5SCzs
Alternate/former/use names: "Val" may be used as a nickname, if one is averse to pronouncing too many tricky Italian syllables.

Proper sanitation and personal/public health practices, and its history.
Learning the Italian language to appear more Italian-like despite my plague doctor garb...even if I would have actually been speaking the Venetian language back in the 17th century.
Venetian Carnevale masks, such as my iconic medico della peste mask.
The Near East and Far East's historical interactions with the Republic of Venice; without the trade routes with these partners, Venice could not have access to their delicious, exotic spices and foodstuffs.
Gardening and herbalism
Italian food and cuisine, ideally created as a result of the aforementioned gardening and herbalism.
Aromatherapy, especially to cover up the bad ~~miasmas~~ smells.
Mixology?? Historically-based, of course. It used to be a form of medicine back in the day...
Overall, in between dealing with disease and its loathsome consequences on society, I am here to make friends and have fun. :)

Timeline:

When started in SCA: I first learned about the SCA's existence at the April 2, 2022 Great Plains Renaissance Festival. Most people are frightened of me in my plague doctor garb and want to stay away, but the fine Vatavian people did not; they wanted to talk to me! I thought this would be a wonderful new social group and hobby to have post-plague, after hiding away from disease for so long.
Significant events since then (competitions, championships, tourneys, first event, etc.)
- First Baronial Event: Champions, August 14, 2022
- First Kingdom Event: Midwinter Knights Dream, December 17, 2022. Award of Arms presented by Duncan Bruce of Logan & Ylva Jonsdottir.
