I am a retired professor of physics who worked in scientific and education research for more than 40 years. At present I am president of a non profit association managing a centre for scientific education I have founded on year 2000 and still operating with children from 3 years up. This centre is devoted to a playful view of science and is open to listening children more than transmitting science contents.
My poetry was born only after retirement and gave rise to a long poem "Moderna Commedia" which has been awarded with the first prize in the contest "Alla Mensa dei Sogni" held in Taranto in 2011. Moreover, it has been included in the first five finalists of the contest "Alessandro Manzoni". The first four canti of Moderna Commedia received the special prize of the jury of the prize "Il poeta e il narratore" at Monselice.
I live in Genoa (Italy), I am married and Ihave three sons and five grandchildren. My age is 78.
