About me

I graduated in Classical Philology at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" and got my Ph.D. in Greek and Latin Philology at the University of Genoa in 2001 with a dissertation about the computer analysis of Greek metrics and the related theorical and technical problems. My main interests are Greek and Latin linguistics and metrics, and as a veteran programmer I'm working to many projects related to such and other Classical fields. I taught informatics for humanities at the University of Macerata, while at the University of Rome I'm still working with my teacher in her courses of Greek literature and language (formerly History of the Greek language).

At the same time, as an IT company I project and create software solutions and work as a consultant for Italian companies and Universities, especially in the publishing industry (Loescher, Zanichelli), with particular attention to the Classical field. All my software solutions are fit to the specific requirements of the customers, which especially in specialized sectors may be very involved. This helped me gaining a good experience in creating tailored software solutions to deal with digital editions of literary and philological databases or dictionaries, conversion of legacy literary databases or printed works, etc.

If you are curious about some of my latest works you can look at a sample list here. As for the Classical field, currently I'm working to many projects held by Universities or just promoted by my own research interests: the general idea behind most of them is the building of a very complex expert system for the Classical languages and metrics, which I think could prove useful in many different fields. Each of the projects I sample in this site are part of this big picture, even when they have been created with a more specialized purpose or adapted to the requirements of other research projects.
