When in the old-dated 1970-1971 academic year, thanks to the support and appreciation of Prof. M.F. Sciacca, I joint the Education Faculty in Genoa coming from Turin, I was a young researcher interested in Rosmini and supported by the trust of Prof. M.A. Raschini I became assistant professor in History of Philosophy. Those years were exceptionally intense and challenging and from my mentors I learned something that is much more important than pure research and philosophical reflection: something that I would not have forgotten for all my life.
My research proceeding then took me to study Aristotle, Plato, all Pre-Socratic and the Greek and pre Hellenic -Babylonian and Egyptian- sciences. So step by step I slightly move out from the strict and pure philosophical domain.
The systematic fonts' reading showed me something so strange and curious in the ancient studies that since then I devoted myself to investigate these issues up to when I realised that there were analogies between the Greek iconographic sources and the oriental ones I investigated before.
In fact they appeared to me as non simple mythological related tales and representations but figural constructions composed through a code deriving from the simple structural remoulding of the archaic cosmology.

All this work demanded a highly expensive and unaffordable publication costs due to very different information sources and formats. Because of this I approached computer and IT technologies that allowed me to set up together in the same framework images and old Greek poly-tonic texts.
In the following years, working as Faculty representative at the University IT centre, I understood there were no more opportunities for our faculty to develop new programs and developments. Therefore I took up the chance offered me by the Dean of faculty - Prof. Vallega - to set up an autonomous IT centre in the Faculty. Those year have been incredibly challenging due to the cultural transformations caused by the technological innovation.
If on the one hand I gave to the faculty an extraordinary opportunity on the other I received in exchange the full control and knowledge of my researches in an IT perspective: I have been allowed to develop dedicated software and programs for my investigations.

For several years I joint together collective historical memory, technology and cultural change. I am therefore sincerely grateful to all Deans -and particularly to Prof. Vallega- that have, along the times, appreciated and supported my work.
In the pottery painting iconic code I discovered the principle and the logic that underlie the literature and religious texts' narrative codes; this allowed me to complete the analysis of knowledge archaic communication system.
The "Knowledge thee" I growth since the early stages, was giving some fruits even though unripe due to the novelty of the research approach I have employed (literature texts, figural and architectural representations in join venture with multiple scientific forms of knowledge). Now it is time for me to tranquilly and continuously turn myself to elucidate the "Archaic Hologram's" multilevel complexity.
From that hologram our culture and civilization has arisen: a culture that is, nowadays, suffering of fractures and discharges in world that -I would say- it is not entirely new. The old educational way is currently impossible to be pursued and the only instrument we employ nowadays is constituted by the orientation without considering the discussion of the educator's horizon and all diverse fractured horizons of those that should be oriented. Sciences of Education demand Human Sciences as their ground but the latter flourish only in the XIX century and the Science of Communication - fashionable topic in the '30s of the XX century- cannot be based exclusively on formalised languages elaborations.

For Plato "the writing" is the medicine for memory and it can only give the appearance of knowledge. What kinds of results are reachable by continuous training to procedures that are easily executable by automata?
My research and IT training experience suggests me that, if we don not join - in an cultural and historical perspective- reading, writing and oral expression seminars to any course given in our Faculty, young students will not be able to overcome the prevailing rhetoric discourses and to pursue their own -culturally oriented- educational programs.

Finally I would wish you a good and placid work, something you will need in these difficult and painful times indeed . All the best to you and to me.

Laureato in Filosofia all'Università di Torino nel 1969, relatore prof. Luigi Pareyson, già assistente di ruolo di Storia della Filosofia nel 1971, prof. associato di Storia del pensiero scientifico nel 1982, già organizzatore responsabile del Laboratorio di Informatica alla Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione negli anni 1990-2000, dopo la pubblicazione all'Accademia delle scienze di Torino della nota sul pensiero di A.Rosmini-Serbati, si è dedicato allo studio della filosofia greca e in questo contesto ha studiato la matematica ellenica e preellenica, giungendo verso gli anni 1980 ad individuare il progetto complessivo di una innovativa ricerca sulla cultura e la cosmologia arcaica, sui suoi codici di comunicazione e sui modelli aritmetici di calcolo delle espressioni temporali e delle longitudini del Sole e della Luna alle sigizie.
La responsabilità del Laboratorio di Informatica lo ha portato ad utilizzare la competenza informatica per le proprie ricerche e ad individuare le prime linee di uno statuto epistemologico di ciò che si può chiamare Informatica umanistica, che esige allo studioso del mondo antico, ad esempio, anche un mutamento culturale e metodologico per le ricerche nel proprio ambito disciplinare.
