  Chief Operations Officer at EGI.eu
 
  I got into grid at INFN - the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics, working at CNAF. INFN has been a pioneer in development of grid middleware and I deeply enjoyed the activities which took place during that design phase. I then moved to operations and finally into the EGI_DS project, where I contributed to the planning for grid sustainability and the preparation of the EGI-InSPIRE project proposal.
 
Computer science and network engineering.
 
A pianist!
 
Work is not a duty but a passion. When I'm at work time flies. Challenges increase this passion and the enthusiasm. I have great colleagues, team work is a pleasure and I enjoy the opportunity of working with operations teams from many countries in the world.
 
Sometimes I would like to have more spare time.
 
I have three small children (one daughter Lucia and two male twins Daniele and Lorenzo), a husband (Ferdinando) and no spare time!
 
Contributing to the ongoing improvement of EGI operations to support National Grid Initiatives and the take-up of grid technology.
 
Nowadays children are already exposed to IT a lot, this starts already at Primary school. But I would be very proud if they could get in to grid - directly or indirectly - contributing to the advancement of knowledge.

 
A physician to be closer to people.
