He was born in Volterra in 1971. In 1990 he moved to Pisa where he graduated in Computer Science. From 2008 to 2018 he was Head of the Mayor of Pisa’s office, and took care of the digitalization of public services, communication, participation, and coordination of innovative projects. He believes that the strategic choices for improving the quality of life of citizens should be based on reliable predictive analysis of the consequences, and be assessable in real time. His participation in the Master's Degree goes in this direction: trying to connect the Public Administration, and the companies that have relations with it, with the world of tools and solutions connected to Big Data. In 2018 he released his first novel "I ragazzi che scalarono il futuro" ["The boys who climbed the future"] (http://www.edizioniets.com/scheda.asp?n=9788846753700), which, mixing reality and fantasy, tells the origin of Italian computer science and the realization of CEP and ELEA, the first Italian computers.
