About Me
Having been at the forefront of the IT revolution since the 1980s, I have built a formidable foundation as both a consultant and an entrepreneur. This decades-long experience, combined with my academic background in Pisa and my multicultural upbringing in Luxembourg, has allowed me to develop a pragmatic and highly effective teaching methodology, alongside an innate ability to adapt to rapidly shifting landscapes.
Today, this adaptability is more vital than ever. As we navigate the most significant revolution in history—the era of Artificial Intelligence—my lifelong passion for communication has found a new, urgent purpose. This is further reflected in my work as an author, notably with my book 'Personal Brand' (published by Biblios Edizioni).
As a Digital Humanist, my mission is to foster critical awareness, ensuring that technology remains a tool at the service of humanity. My focus is on the next generation: I leverage my extensive experience to equip young people with the cognitive ‘meta-tools’ essential for their future. I promote lifelong learning not merely as a technical skill, but as a fundamental mindset for navigating today’s fast-paced society, dedicating over 30 years of expertise to the empowerment of others.

Author: Training as an Interpreter and Translator in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Armando Editore
July 2025
to October 2025
Roma
Italy
- This volume is aimed at students and early-career language professionals. The author, a Digital Humanist, seeks to debunk the myth of AI as a threat, demonstrating through practical examples and engaging dialogues that Artificial Intelligence is, in fact, a linguist’s most powerful ally. The text highlights how AI automates repetitive tasks, enabling professionals to focus on irreplaceable human skills such as cultural empathy, creativity, and critical judgement. The work provides a practical guide for navigating academic studies and emerging AI-enhanced linguistic professions, transforming future-anxiety into enthusiasm and opportunity for a new generation of informed digital linguists.
University Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence
Scuola Superiore per Mediatori Linguistici San Domenico
Since January 2025
Roma
Italy
- University Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence
- I firmly believe that technology, when guided by humanistic ethics, serves as a powerful tool for democratising knowledge and fostering lifelong learning. In recent years, I have specialised in AI with a clear mission: to empower students and professionals to navigate the ongoing scientific revolution with awareness and confidence.
- To me, AI literacy is far more than a technical proficiency; it is a cultural act and a journey of personal growth and critical awareness. I believe that integrating Artificial Intelligence into the training of interpreters can enhance language learning while providing vital tools to navigate the social dynamics of our time. My mission is to nurture independent, inquisitive minds, empowered to inhabit the digital world with responsibility and integrity."

Author: Personal Brand
Biblios Edizioni
Since June 2022
- A book representing the culmination of my 30-year professional and personal legacy. This work is designed for a broad audience, with a particular focus on students, reflecting my lifelong passion for teaching. Rather than providing an exhaustive academic study, this first edition offers readers the essential keys to navigate today’s "liquid society"—an environment fraught with pitfalls and intense competitiveness. It provides young people with a practical toolkit to support their personal growth, effectively supplementing the gaps within the current formal education system.
- he book is built upon three core pillars: Universal Laws, Lifelong Learning, and Personal Branding. In my experience, these elements form a 'virtuous triangle' that empowers individuals to achieve personal fulfilment and self-esteem, while fostering a deeper sense of inner balance.
- Personal branding is a central pillar of my research. My goal is to challenge young people to think critically about how they manage their public image. I believe that protecting and aligning one’s brand with their authentic reality, rather than outsourcing its 'administration' to third parties, is a powerful act of self-expression. It is essential for fostering a society driven by synergy and a shared dedication to the collective interest.

Professional Profile
My teaching philosophy is built upon two core pillars of expertise: Computing (ICT) and Languages (French, German, and English). These are two critical subjects for any student, which I deliver using a concrete, innovative, and results-driven approach.
With extensive experience in the IT sector—spanning the entire evolution of the personal computer since 1980—and a solid academic foundation in Computer Science from the University of Pisa, I offer a unique perspective on technology. Furthermore, being born in Luxembourg, a country traditionally at the forefront of linguistic excellence, I have developed a teaching method focused on practical application, efficiency, and total student engagement.
My passion for communication is the cornerstone of my teaching. I am dedicated to ensuring that every student who entrusts me with their education achieves their learning goals through a personalised and supportive experience.
Methodology & Philosophy
Practical French and Beyond: My method makes French easy and practical; however, the techniques I use are highly adaptable to the study of any language. I believe in an immediate full-immersion approach—prioritising dialogue, listening, and active conversation from day one. I also show students how to leverage their mobile phones as 24/7 tutors to accelerate the learning process.
A Bespoke Approach to Learning: The success of private tuition lies in the fact that it is never standardised. There is no sense in offering the same "one-size-fits-all" remedial lessons to every student when their needs vary so significantly.
Whether in person or via webcam, every student has a unique profile. I take into account their personality, temperament, and their specific way of processing classroom information. For a private tutor, the key word must always be «bespoke».
