The Son of Man by René Magritte, 1964, oil on canvas, private collection

Antonio ROSSI

"Each thing we see hides another, we always want to see what is being hidden by what we see. There is an interest in what is hidden and what the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a fairly intense feeling, a kind of contest, I could say, between the hidden visible and apparent visible".
Surrealist Magritte painter's words inspired the approach used in my Curriculum Vitae. The CV focus is not only on what I learned, studied, and achieved but also on how and why I make my choices, use my resources and skills to solve problems, manage issues, achieve goals, and continuously reinvent myself to maintain a resilient posture.
I think we are the result of all the previous experiences, not only in the professional domain but also in our life. By merging these two dimensions, it is possible to have a full image of the man and the professional I am: driven by innovation, guided by experience, animated by creativity, and comforted by the sharing and participation of ideas.

WHAT AND HOW I DO

My designs and creations for fun and professional purpose (click on the images to see more)

DESIGNS

I am a maker, better I try to follow this my goal: so I have a maker approach in my job and private life creating functional objects to arrange office, home, desktops, bicycles, and other kinds of stuff. The approach is to create things that are pleasing to the eye and functional by using other objects and materials that are differently unusually combined.

PUBBLICATIONS

Books are my passion: not only for the stories they tell, the emotions they transmit, the knowledge they can contain but also as an object in itself: paper quality, layout, editing approach, etc. I have self-published some books to explain my research in cyber and information security domains and other areas of my interest: heraldry, symbolism, history of my town and country.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

A review of my public presentations at national and international conferences on cybersecurity issues.
I also show the presentations of my studies as a researcher and analyst of symbols and the history of the Italian twentieth century.

PODCAST (only in italian)

Exiled thoughts captured in the podcast: a collection of reflections aloud on various social, historical, and cultural issues between the serious and the facetious without any pretense of teaching but only to share my point of view.

INFOGRAPHICS

Data illustration is one of my skills in presenting a report, an idea, summarizing data analysis in one view, organizing to tell a story, to share information.

SOCIAL & CULTURAL INITIATIVES

In this section a collection of my pro-bono activities that I have carried out to support the local community where I live, promote culture and knowledge: an example of participation, active citizenship and solidarity.

Some of my publishes, designs, and creations for fun and professional purpose
