Education
I graduated in Geography applied to the environment, landscape and tourism from University of Genoa (Italy) in 2008. During the first year of my studies I approached GIS software and I viewed them as my future job! Then I started playing with Free and Open Source GIS software, especially with GRASS GIS. For my thesis, about a small ski and thermal resort in the north-west of Italy called Lurisia, I used such software for geographic data analysis and mapping.
Work experience
-
2010 to date FEM: GIS technician at the GIS & Remote Sensing Platform, Unit head Markus Neteler. WebGIS application development, geodatabase, analysis of geospatial data, software development
-
2010 Ambiente Italia: project for the sampling of the rubbish bins, by collecting spatial points using GPS of several municipalities in the Province of Arezzo
-
2010 R3-GIS: feasibility study for the detection of insolation on the pitch through LIDAR data
-
2008 – 2010 FEM-IASMA: I developed a webGIS application for the prediction and characterization of vineyards named Harvassist. It was created using only Free software:
- PostgreSQL-PostGIS as databas
- ExtJS and PHP for the web client
- Apache and MapServer for the web server

My mission
I believe in free data sharing and software and I am involved in various projects related to Geographic information.
Content
OpenStreetMap: “creates and provides free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them.” You can find more info about my activity on the project in Italian or in English, you can also see my edit. In 2012 I have been one of the coordinators of M(')appare Genova events
Software
GRASS GIS: I started to contribute to GRASS GIS with the translation of the graphical user interface, in the last years I also wrote some modules for the GRASS GIS core
QGIS: I developed a plugin, OGR2Layers, which creates a web page with OpenLayers library and the vector loaded in the QGIS canvas
pyModis: it's a “Free and Open Source Python library to automatically download MODIS data from the NASA ftp site”
You can find all my ideas on my personal page at GitHub
