After completing the mandatory education in Italy in the 70′ ¹elementary school (6-11 years old), and middle school (11-14 years old), I chose to continue my scientific education and attended the Liceo Scientifico Statale Plinio Seniore high school in Rome, IT (14-19 years old).

In 1982, at my second year there, they started a “Corso extrascolastico di informatica”, which I attended once a week, on Wednesdays, after school.

A professional programmer, which worked at a nearby company, taught me how to program in the BASIC language.
