About Me
I was born 40 41 (sigh!) years ago in Senigallia, a charming town on the Adriatic coast (County of Le Marche) known for its Velvet Beach. After graduating in (astro)physics from the University of Milan, I moved to Rome and began to cut my teeth on networks and security in Matisse SPA and later in Telindus.

I held this role until June 2012.

With great surprise I discovered to be more attracted by the animated S of the Mosaic browser, used without any knowledge to browse the catalogs of the Hubble telescope, rather than by black holes and neutron stars that I should have studied.
Shortly after graduation, this attraction would have become my work …

I just realized who is the author of this blog, and not only want to thank you for this bright idea you’ve built and grown. I am also surprised to see how close you are! Have been working with Business-E for a while as I have been in a major Telco SOC managing SIEM and Trendmicro solutions for which Business-E was reseller and trainer.
