About

I was born in Italy on 07/20/1978. Since 2004, I developed a growing interest in programming, especially in C++ and Java. This led me to progressively discover the web and its standards. My first web site contained a section called CSS Zibaldone that lately become a standalone site where I started filing my resources about CSS (you can find more at http://www.css-zibaldone.com/test/ and http://www.css-zibaldone.com/articles/).

I started publishing my tests on 11/19/2007 and I got an immediate and positive feedback from the web community (especially from CSS Discuss). A couple of months later I joined the tester community that works on the W3C CSS 2.1 test suite and I started submitting my tests. Quality Assurance (QA) is a good benchmark to test your proper understanding of a standard. I also got an invitation from Alex Mogilevsky (Internet Explorer Development Team) for submitting my tests to the IE8 beta feedback page.

Meanwhile, things were moving faster in Italy: I got a seminar in Rome on May and then an interview with an important Italian magazine. During that summer, I wrote down a couple of articles on CSS that were published on September 2008. Next December I become an IWA member and get some works on a regular basis.

On June 2009 I started writing my posts on Edit, the major Italian blog on web standards. I also started writing some articles for Html.it, the web platform behind Edit. On October 2009, I took a seminar during the SMAU event, surely one of the best moments of my web life of ever. After a couple of months spent on working on various websites, projects and a lot of testing, in May 2010 I got a job from Wamboo S.r.L, a web agency based in Formigine, near Modena (Italy).
