Additional information Despite the technical and scientific experience acquired on geological studies, the writer has always
expressed strong interest in professional fields that are also very different from that (eg. educational,
administrative, information technology, technical and creative), following projects and creating jobs in
short form of collaboration with several private companies specialized in different fields.
In this context, the most important educational experience was, although in an informal and non-
continuous, at the University of Ferrara (Faculty of Earth Sciences), where he served for three
consecutive years, part of the academic course “Classification, Evolution and Coastal management” at
the faculty of Environmental Geology. In addition, he also taught in the Master of “Geological and
Environmental monitoring technologies” (first level - "Geo-Environmental Monitoring for land
management" curricula - Ref OI2003/0091/SC3).
