I am a political scientist, a photographer a traveler. I used to work in academe and for a few rewarding but eventually boring years I was a bureaucrat in a large international organization. I lived in many countries around the world, and consider myself Italian and European, but much of me feels American as well. In the past I have contributed many items to the Italian Treccani Encyclopaedia, mostly on international issues, but now I am enthusiastic about Wikipedia and its philosophy!
