Bio

WARNING: This text is in English. If you are reading it in a language different than English it means you are not reading my words but Google's interpretation of my words and thoughts, which is at best inaccurate and often plain wrong and misleading. If you want to know what I really wrote, please disable automatic translation on your device. Short Bio: I started out as a designer, in Milan, working for an interactive media production company. Then I moved to London, where I spent several years working mainly for American corporations (AT&T Capital, HP/Compaq, Lucent Technologies), initially as an analyst and then as a team leader and project leader, on large pan-European projects. Currently I spend most of my time in Italy, still involved with tech but also with the educational side of things. Education: I have a degree in Psychology with a thesis in Cultural Anthropology, 110/110 cum laude. I have been studying Communication Sciences at doctoral level, in Milan, but I dropped out after the first year. In London, I have been trained in Information Technology and in this area I hold a couple of technical certifications, such as MCSE, CCNA and CCSE. [last upd: 2009]

I'm passionate about

how things work, how things are behind the surface, in science, technology but especially in the human realm. Turning intuitions and ideas into projects, and projects into real things.

An idea worth spreading

Each of us has some in-born specific qualities and talents of which we are normally unaware of. It's a real treasure buried in our own field. In its essence, is the gift that a person brings to the world and a source of great pleasure and richness in life. Those willing to go through the struggle to unearth it and develop it put themselves on a kind of track well known since ancient times, and in the end make a great service to themselves and to the world. As Robert Pirsig put it, "The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there."
