Graduated in mechanical engineering in 1998, since then I have dealt with energy issues and renewable energy sources. 

After two years spent as a researcher at ENEA, dealing with benchmarking and energy performance indicators, cogeneration, electricity and gas markets liberalization, and power quality, since 2002 I have been cooperating with FIRE (Italian Federation for the Rational use of Energy), covering the position of managing director since 2007. At FIRE I oversee institutional relation, personnel, the main projects, and the typical managing activities. 

Since 2023 I am vice president of Coordinamento FREE, a federation involving most of the associations dealing with renewables and energy efficiency in Italy, thorough which he promotes a clean energy transition. 

Since 2025 I am member of the board at CTI, Comitato Termotecnico Italiano, a body federated to UNI and involved in  carrying out regulatory and standardisation activities in the various sectors related to thermotechnology, energy, and environment.

In recent years I have conceived and managed various initiatives aimed at promoting the rational use of energy, such as communication, training, development of market tools, etc. as well as studying the dynamics of the energy efficiency market. 

I have been active as advisor or member of working groups and projects on the development of the energy efficiency market, dissemination and information programs in the energy sector, analysis of the multiple benefits of energy efficiency, white certificates and other incentive schemes, energy performance contracts (EPC), ESCOs and energy managers, energy management systems, cogeneration, power quality and supply of electricity and natural gas.

Among the activities of international scope, I have participated in the design and implementation of European projects on various topics, such as: ENSMOV plus, ENSMOV, and ENSPOL (support to national authorities on energy efficiency policies), M-Benefits (method for the quantification of multiple benefits of energy efficiency at company level), ESI Europe (business model for SMEs based on guaranteed savings and performance insurance), EPATEE (evaluation of energy efficiency policies), EU-MERCI (platform of best practices in industry), SME energy check-up (tool for SMEs), H-REII and Whaves (thermal recovery in industry and financing of energy efficiency projects).

I have given support and coordinated in 2023 the Italian information day on ELENA organized by EIB, participated for many years in the meetings of the EEFIG (Energy Efficiency Financial Institutions Group), and between 2018 and 2019 supported EASME (European Agency for SMEs) in the organization and coordination of the Sustainable Energy Investment Forums on building renovation in Italy. Between 2021 and 2022 I have participated in support activities aimed at the development of new energy policies dealing with tax reliefs and energy audits for Kosovo and Georgia. In 2006-2007 I have been in charge for the component dedicated to information and dissemination campaigns and expert on energy policies in the context of the Twinning project “Institutional Building at EEA” with the Bulgarian Energy Efficiency Agency. 

Finally, I have contributed to several papers and participated in peer-reviewing processes on energy efficiency topics, besides joining many conferences, workshops, and training courses as speaker and/or chairman. 

Most of my work is in Italian, but you can find many posts in English too.
