1990 Alberto received his degree with honor in Physics Physics at the University of Trieste in 1990. His thesis, developed at the Astronomical Observatory of Trieste (OAT), was based on the development of a package for the automatic extraction of spectra from objective-prism photographic plates, and for the identification of stars in globular clusters for studies on ellipticity.

1992 In February 1992 he joined the European Southern Observatory, Garching b. München, as a temporary archivist for the ST-ECF Group . Here he was involved in the field of relational databases (SYBASE), their structure and language, their maintenance, working on the STARCAT user interface.

1993 In May 1993 Alberto joined ESIS (European Space Information System) at ESRIN/ESA, Frascati (Italy), as a visiting scientist working on the Catalogue Databrowser (ORACLE 6), on the Imaging and Spectral applications, deepening his knowledge on distributed archives.
Of course he worked also on the World Wide Web implementing the first version of the ESIS Astronomical Catalogue Browser. (The ESIS Project is no longer supported at ESRIN. The Catalogue Browser is now available online from CDS, Strasboug.)

1994-1995 In July 1994 from Rome, Alberto moved to ESTEC/ESA, Noordwijk, The Netherlands, first, and to VILSPA/ESA, Villafranca del Castillo, Spain, later, to join the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) project as a SERCo contractor in the ISO Science Team dealing with the ISO proposal database (ORACLE 7), giving support to the astronomical community at the Proposal Data Entry Centre (PDEC) and preparing and coordinating the ISO services on the WWW.

1996-1997 Since April 1996 Alberto is back in Garching bei München at ESO (European Southern Observatory), as ESA (European Space Agency) staff, in the ST-ECF (Space Telescope European Coordinating Facility) group, as Science Archive Software Specialist, to work on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) archive.
