Welcome, Massimiliano! Judging from you name, we seem to share some common cultural background ;)
I hope that you'll enjoy learning and using Clojure, and more importantly that you'll reap the advantages that comes from learning and applying its philosophy<http://www.drdobbs.com/architecture-and-design/the-clojure-philosophy/240150710>(even if you can't work with Clojure all the time in your day job).
