Personal vitae
Born 1955 in Milan.
He studied mathematics at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa under the direction of Prof. Sergio Spagnolo and the late Prof. De Giorgi, a world-class expert in mathematical analysis.
After receiving his degree in 1978 and being junior lecturer for some time, he became full professor at the Polytechnic of Turin in 1987; since 1990 he works at the School of Engineering of the University of Parma.
His studies concern the calculus of variations (for non-specialists, this is a branch of mathematical analysis), and especially (numbers refer to the list of papers)

Former Director of the Department of Mathematics, former Rector's Delegate for the interaction between High Schools and University, former head of the Evaluation Board of the University of Parma, in charge of a teaching enhancement program and a learning failure reduction program of the University of Parma.



List of publications
You may download many papers as pdf files, under the usual rules (personal use only, you do not violate any copyright etc.); for some of the older ones, this may not correspond to the actual printed article, as only the TeX file of the preprint was available. Due to some recent mishaps, I also include the following: if you want to publish a paper under your own name, please do not copy any part of my papers, but use your brain instead.
