About

I am a GIS fanatic living in Rome, Italy. I have been glued (without hope of freedom) to a computer since the early 80's when I were developing some Zork-like adventures game on his Commodore Vic20/64/Amiga. I landed in GIS in the late 90's, writing some (now museum-worthy) AML code for ARC/INFO and then migrating to ArcObjects and Open Source GIS.

I am an engineer and I work since 1998 in the IT field, mainly with GIS software (and recently also with CMS software). I was working with Esri Italia for two years and from 2001 I am working for IPI (Istituto Promozione Industriale) as a GIS Project Manager.
The technologies I use every day in my working projects are both commercial (.NET, SQL Server, Esri ArcGIS Desktop, ArcIMS, ArcSDE, Oracle) and Open Source (Java, Python, Ruby, MySQL, Postgres, MapServer, PostGIS), and I am very interested in the integration and interoperability of them.
I am an Open Source advocate and give my contribution as being one of the developers of zigGIS, the Open Source PostGIS connector for ArcGIS Desktop.
