I was born in Milan and live in Biassono with my fantastic wife and three wonderful children. Robot designer at the National Research Council of Italy during working hours, I like playing with kids during free time. Someone defines me as a maker. Sometimes I spend time automating stuff with some friends during night, after reading and singing for my kids. With some of my friends, I got six “Maker of merit” blue ribbons in previous editions of the Maker Faire Rome, but this is another story. I love cycling and traveling with all the family. I play clarinet, but just for fun. About pistaSprint: my wife Rossana got the idea; my children Ancilla, Leonardo and Viola are the inspirers and the first testers; my sister Marta takes care of the whole graphic aspect.
