I'm born in Uznach, Switzerland, in june 11, 1967, and I lived my early years at Rapperswil, a graceful town on lake Zurich. My parents are sicilian and I lived in Ispica, Sicily, since 1973 to 1987 when I won a place of scholarship at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, Tuscany, for Mathematics. I graduated at the University of Pisa in 1993. In july 1993 I began my military service in the Bersaglieri Army at Trapani, near Erice, Sicily. In 1994 I begun the Doctoral School of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Pisa, which I finished in 1997. In that year, I returned in Switzerland, and more precisely in Lausanne, where I have been premier assistant at the IMA (Institut de Mathématiques) of the local University . In 2000 I moved in Neuchâtel, where I live at present. I am maître-assistant at the Statistics Group of the University of Neuchâtel. I also sing in the chorus of the University as a bass. My hobbies include clarinet, ski, astronomy and maintenance of my oldfashioned Vespa of 1958, of which you can see a photo below (with my father).
Here's some places where I lived:
