I was born in Lodi, where I still live, in 1976. In 2001 I obtained the "Laurea" degree in telecommunications engineering from Politecnico di Milano. Since then I have been working at CEFRIEL (Politecnico di Milano), mostly dealing with information and communication security topics.
I have been using Linux since 1997, I am a member of the ILS - Italian Linux Society (I have also been a member of the Board for six years), I am founder and president of LOLUG (Lodi Linux Users Group), and I "invented" the (Italian) Linux Day in 2001.
