Together with the research group of the University of Trento I have organized

two National conferences:

Together with the research group of the University of Trento I have organized GIS courses for Professionals since 1998 and I have contributed to produce Tutorials and Educational material regarding FOSS4G since 1996.

I use FOSS4G to teach at Doctoral courses, University courses and to teach to school teachers.

I have been teacher in many workshops at OSGeo international conferences and at Italian GRASS users conferences

Here is a list of my publications.

It was 2002 when Paolo Zatelli and I wrote this foreword to the 2002 international conference and those words are still true to me today.
