About This Page

Welcome

Welcome to my homepage. Here you will find my CV, a list of my publications, and other materials. Please use the menu above to navigate among the site's sections.

How this page was made

This website was built through interaction between the author and several AI applications, most notably Claude Opus and DeepSeek, with more limited use of ChatGPT. All scholarly content and data are the author's own; the interface, design, and a substantial part of the implementation were produced and then iteratively refined through AI-assisted dialogue.

Many features, including the algorithm that renders floating letters in the background, were developed as experiments, largely to test the limits of this workflow.

Categories of personal data and purposes of processing

The web server automatically records technical log data for each request (IP address, user agent, timestamp, requested resource). These data are processed solely for the purpose of ensuring the security and correct functioning of the website. The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest of the data controller (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The website makes use of technical cookies, strictly necessary for retaining the user's display preferences (background theme, floating letter configuration, section collapse state). These cookies are first-party only; no data collected through them is transmitted to third parties. As a technical fallback, the same data is also stored in the browser's local storage (localStorage) for redundancy purposes. Pursuant to Art. 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC and the Italian Data Protection Authority's Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools (10 June 2021, § 17), such storage mechanisms are exempt from the requirement of prior consent.

Should a user choose to contact the data controller by email, the personal data contained in the message (name, email address, content) will be processed solely for the purpose of responding to the enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps taken at the request of the data subject) or, where applicable, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in handling correspondence).

Third-party services

This website does not make use of analytics, profiling, or advertising services. All typographic resources (fonts) are hosted locally; no automatic requests to external services are initiated upon page load.

The Blog section displays content retrieved from Tumblr (Automattic Inc., USA) through the site's own server. No direct connection between the user's browser and Tumblr's servers is established for retrieving posts or images, as Tumblr-hosted images are served through a server-side proxy. A direct connection to Tumblr (or other third-party services) may still occur only if a post contains embedded external content (for example, iframes) or links that the user actively opens.

Recipients and transfers

Personal data contained in server logs may be accessible to the hosting provider in its capacity as data processor. No other recipients are foreseen. The site's own server acts as an intermediary for all Tumblr content, including images; a transfer of personal data to third countries may occur only in the residual cases described above (embedded external content actively opened by the user).

Retention

Server log data are retained for a maximum of 90 days, unless a longer period is required for the investigation of security incidents. Technical cookies and local storage data are persistent and remain stored until the user modifies the corresponding preference or deletes them through the browser settings. Email correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to address the enquiry and any follow-up communication.

Rights of the data subject

Pursuant to Articles 15–22 of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and port their personal data, as well as the right to object to processing. These rights may be exercised by contacting the data controller at the address indicated above.

The data subject also has the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali), Piazza Venezia 11, 00187 Roma, www.garanteprivacy.it.
