Meet the Information & Communication Technology Team

Paolo Forlani Paolo joined the Bologna Center in 2003 as information and communication technology manager after working as an IT specialist for one of Italy's largest supermarket chains. Previously he worked for other industries in Northern Italy as a systems and network administrator, including SIT group, and as a project manager for CSC Europe, an international consulting firm. He brings to the Bologna Center the professionalism and 'soft touch' necessary to succeed in an academic environment. Paolo is also safety and privacy manager at the Bologna Center.

Lorenzo Righetti Lorenzo, a native Bolognese, began working at the Bologna Center in 2006 as information and communication technology assistant after completing his studies in IT. Known as the 'go to' staff member at the Bologna Center for all kinds of IT queries, Lorenzo maintains an open door policy with colleagues and students and believes that collaboration produces the best results.

OUR GOAL We aim to continue to modernize the Bologna Center's infrastructure and find innovative ways to deploy resources at our disposal to provide Bologna students, faculty and staff with the tools they need to communicate, including: multimedia capabilities, audiovisual aids and videoconferencing facilities. We seek to evolve our technologies to provide high quality service to the Bologna Center community in all areas of ICT. Each year the ICT team is complemented by two 'techie' student assistants who work in the computer lab, library research work stations, and with the printers and student laptops.
