Contribuisco alla XIV in lingua italiana.
I support the Italian language XIV with my contributions.

I am an avid daily (and nightly) user of wikipedia. And I feel like I will never be able to repay this community for everything it gave to me during the past 19 years/so. Anyways, after years and years of postponing, on 24 February 2018 I decided finally to register and I made my first little modification.

Since then, I have been editing some pages from time to time, mostly about mathematics (differential geometry) and mathematicians, as well as stuff I read/watched/bumped into, both in the English and the Italian wikipedia. Unfortunately, I have never committed too much time in it. But doing so is my constant new year resolution.

Since February 2021 I am more active, doing at least a couple of (non-minor) edits almost every week.

Pages I have created, translated and/or substantially improved※

Here you can find the full list of my contributions (in reverse chronological order) and some contribution statistics.

Books, movies and tv-series:

To-do list※

Here are some pages I would like to substantially improve/update/expand in the (near or far) future, roughly divided by topics. Feel free to contribute!

Exterior differential systems

G-structures

Groupoids/algebroids

  • Morita equivalence (this page is only for rings; create a separate page for Lie groupoids)

Basic differential geometry

Symplectic geometry

Foliations

Other geometric structures

Lie groups and algebra

Mathematical physics

Other mathematics stubs and short/bad articles I would like to improve

Other pages I plan to translate

Other useful links for future work
