Thanks for sharing Franco!
Starting off, your website looks amazing 😄
2 small things I noticed:
1. On a larger screen, the user is able to scroll just a TINY bit
Something about the CSS is causing the home and contact page to be larger than they need to be.
2. External links don't open in a new tab/window
For external links, I'd advise making them open in a new tab.
This way, a user can easily go back to your own webpage.

I'm a developer who likes testing first, iterative processes, and refactoring, and I care about quality. I speak both C and Ruby with some facility, and enjoy both, which confuses some people.
Thanks for keeping links working the way they were intended. Opening in a new tab/window is easily accomplished with a middle click, but forcing something to open in the same tab/window when a site has decided to force things to open in new tabs/windows is not so straightforward.
There are occasions where opening a link in a new tab/window is a good idea but, when in doubt, leave it out. Give the user choice based on standard approaches.

I'm just saying that links that work the default way -- opening in the same browser tab/window normally, but in a new tab/window when someone middle-clicks -- are usually a good idea. It seems that is how your website works, and I think that's a good thing, even if Twan Mulder thinks you should change it.

I was aware of the height issue, but it’s OK for me; I also decided for myself to open links in the same window. Thanks anyway!

Sorry, but I didn’t understand your point of view... Can you explain it better?

Thanks. I decided to follow your advice: now the links open in a new tab 😊
