Is there anybody out there?
Hello. I'm Italian and I live in Mestre, Comune of Venezia, Veneto.
[edit] Wikipedia
I discovered Wikipedia in the summer of 2004 and immediately started editing some pages, but I registered an account only in March 2005. What I like of the English Wikipedia is its refreshing, not italocentric POV.
[edit] Career
In 2004 I obtained the Laurea (more or less equivalent to a Bachelor of Science, see Bologna process) in Telecommunications Engineering at the University of Padua.
Currently I'm studying to obtain the Laurea Specialistica (Master of Science) in Telecommunications Engineering, specializing in Communications Systems and Networks.
[edit] Interests
I'm an omnivorous reader, with a predilection for science fiction.
