YOU MUST KNOW THAT
MY CURRICULUM
in short
MY CURRICULUM
extended version
I chose law studies and, then, to specialize in criminal law and new technologies, on the one
hand for the innate propensity to defend those who are in difficulty and have no tools and / or
capacity to protect themselves and adequately, on the other hand because I have always been
extremely fascinated by the potential, and also by the risks, of new technologies. Moreover, I
have always been fascinated by the fact that we could use them to remedy to the economic
backwardness of my native land, Sicily. Following the numerous work, study and collaboration
experiences with companies from all over Italy, my own personal ambition is to grow culturally
and professionally in a dynamic, interdisciplinary and evolved environment, where my analytical
and research abilities, also in terms of problem solving, can be used to bring value to Italy. I do
not want to be unnecessarily self-referential, so I refer to Prof. Fabio Macioce - Professor of
Philosophy of Law at LUMSA (https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/3YNF6bRVE92HHx) and to my
trainer magistrate (https:// www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/G62a2wR3Vjkl4G)
a more accurate and impartial description of my abilities.
In March 2014 I obtained a master's degree in law with 110/110 cum laude at the LUMSA
University of Palermo, with the Thesis in Criminal Procedural Law called "The Atypical
Testimonies in Criminal Proceedings".
Immediately afterwards I started the legal practice at the law firm of Donatella Buscaino, a
criminal and family law expert, and in September of the same year I was hired as a trainee
pursuant to art. 73 of Legislative Decree 69/2013 at the Criminal Section of the Court of Trapani,
a hearing area, alongside a Magistrate acting as a Monocratic Judge, alongside the College and
Review Judge.
In February 2017 I became a lawyer and, moreover, I won the "Giovanni Falcone and Paolo
Borsellino" scholarship for the research project: "Organized crime in the digital age: the new
frontiers of the deep web and bitcoins", concluded on 22 December 2017.
Since then I have continued my studies in the field of cybercrimes and cryptocurrencies and
started fruitful collaborations with legal journals, the National Anti-Money Laundering
Observatory and the Municipality of Naples as a member as a member of the "Napoli Blockchain"
Working Group, Normative Section, for the analysis of legal issues related to project
development for public administration innovation through the use of cryptocurrencies and the
blockchain.
In 2018 I founded Crypto Avvocato, a network of professional experts in the legal, economic and
technology fields & innovative companies. The goal is to assist users in every field, developing
their projects and protecting them from the risks of the web.
In March 2019, I was appointed a member of the national council of Italia4blockchain, an
important association for training and dissemination in the field of digital innovation & blockchain
and in May of that year I became Scientific Advisor of Scrypta Foundation, an autonomous
organization, legally regulated, which represents and finances projects related to the Scrypta
blockchain architecture.

sentences of the Collegiate Court, together with the Trainees alongside other Magistrates, I
could reinforce my own capacity for team collaboration.
In this way, during this intense period, I could understand the complex dynamics that govern the
jurisdiction and also greatly enrich my knowledge in civil and criminal matters through the
periodic participation in the seminars hold by the Scuola Superiore della Magistratura and the
internal meetings / debate at the Court of Trapani, about the most recent rulings of the Supreme

Trapani per il Futuro
Member since December 2014 and President of the Board of Directors from January to
December 2017
Organization chart: http://trapaniperilfuturo.org/organigramma/
Areas of operation: environment, culture, civil rights and social actions.
The association, currently made up of about 60 members, pursues the ambitious goal of
breaking down the immobilism of the Trapani society and culture by promoting initiatives aimed
at raising awareness the community on social and political issues such as environmental care
and beauty architectural, the fight against the mafia and clientelism. Furthermore, the
association has set itself the goal of promoting the artistic talents of the city, too often overlooked,
allowing the community to rediscover the importance of art in the present and for the future.
I joined TPF in 2014 and immediately started contributing to the planned cultural and
volunteering activities. In 2015/2016, putting to the good use my knowledge and writing skills, I
edited the column "The word of the week", dedicated to the analysis (etymological and
conceptual) of words properly selected in consideration of the events that most marked the week
or the reference month.
In March 2017 I was elected President of the Board of Directors, the body, composed of 7
members elected by the assembly, which, together with the three members of the Bureau, is
responsible to coordinate the voluntary activities of the association. Back to being an ordinary
member in December 2017, I am currently in charge of publishing articles and providing my
intellectual contribution to the association, which becomes practical when I am in Trapani.

raising activities and provisions for disadvantaged families in the city of Palermo and to assist

Maria SS Assunta University (Palermo detachment)
Registration made in September 2008
Master's Degree, class LMG 01 in Law, awarded 19.3.2014 with vote 110/110 Lode
Encouraged to undertake the career of the jurist by those who saw in me an innate propensity
for dialectics, I grew up, culturally and professionally, thanks to a course of study - that of LUMSA
- which allowed me to understand the benefits that the legal professions can produce in the
social sphere. The university career, characterized by the attendance of optional courses aimed
at enriching the juridical and philosophical knowledge of the law, ended with the drafting of a
Degree Thesis in Criminal Procedural Law called "Atypical Testimonials in Criminal
Proceedings".
In the approximately 300 pages of discussion all forms of testimony were examined, starting
obviously from the direct one up to the most unusual, such as that of the Pope.
From this derives the use of the atypical term, which has been understood in a double sense:
first of all in the traditional sense, that is, to indicate a means of proof whose methods of
assumption are not governed by the law (and this with reference to the hostile testimony) . And
also, in a broad sense, with reference to those models of testimony which, although typified,
deviate from the "traditional" direct model made in the debate.

Leonardo Ximenes Classic High School (TP)
Since 2003 to 2008, classical high school diploma obtained with 84/100 grade
The course of classical studies ended with the preparation of a term paper called: "History and
topicality of the opposition between the West and the Middle East", aimed at examining the origin
and motivations underlying the historical contrast between the Middle Eastern and Western
cultures. More precisely, through a preliminary in-depth examination of the phases that
characterized the relations between the Middle East and the West, since the Persian Wars, the
paper finally analyzes the most recent problems - energy crisis, religiously motivated terrorism,
interference by the West in middle-politics, freedom of expression and thought in one and in the
other reality - through the critical gaze of writers of our time such as Oriana Fallaci and Salman
Rushdie.

As a speaker, I had the honor and the burden of explaining the technical and legal nature of the
cryptocurrencies, with the lesson "Insert law to cryptocurrencies" and, in the afternoon,
perspectives and limits of "Data token economy", ie the exploitation of user data against a fee
in digital tokens.
The fervent curiosity of the students and professionals participating in the workshop, however,
allowed them to go beyond the topic and go into the examination of consensus mechanisms,
decentralized architectures, use cases of blockchain technology.

implemented and supported by a community with sufficient digital culture, could help the Italian
economy to recover and improve relational / economic dynamics afflicted by the wounds of
corruption and cronyism.
My intervention, in particular, focused on the technical / legal framework of cryptocurrencies and
their possible applications in the real economy and in public administration, also through
concrete examples such as the management of separate waste collection with a view to
counteract attempts to scam like those of Ama employees, registered by the Hyenas.

Giovanni and Francesca Falcone Foundation
Research thesis:
"Organized crime in the digital age: the new frontiers of the deep web and bitcoins".
Originating from the research project won for the “Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino”
Scholarship in the year 2016, the paper analyzes the investigative strategies and the instruments
adopted, at national and foreign level, to fight against organized crime, including terrorist mold,
and child pornography, in cyber space, in particular, in the so-called "Deep web".
The aim of the paper is not only to carry out the current regulations, the means and techniques
adopted to combat these forms of crime at national, European and international level - as well
as the pertinent jurisprudential issues of greater importance - but, especially, to indicate new
possible investigative approaches and assess the proportionality of the tools used both on the
basis of the different virtual operating fields in which the operator finds himself acting (surface
web / deep web / dark web) and of the computer defenses adopted by the cyber criminal.
On 22 December 2017, the results of my work were discussed at the University of Palermo, in
the Department of law, and approved by the judging committee. Since then, the paper is
available at the Giovanni and Francesca Falcone Foundation or downloadable at the following
