BACKGROUND:

Hello and welcome to the privacy and cookie policy page of this website.

As you may know, the 25 May 2018 one has entered into force European legislation, known as GDPR, which indicates to websites how to manage any personal data collected concerning European citizens. Complying with these provisions is mandatory.
For this reason, below you will find both the privacy and cookie policy adopted by this site. These documents are published in an attempt to explain you - in "simple and clear language", as required by the article 12 of the GDPR - if and how the site manages your personal data and what your rights are.

If instead you have never filled in any form, your data are not processed by me in any way and therefore reading the following may not be useful.

The European regulation for the protection of personal data that requires the drafting of this document is the number 679/2016, known as GDPR, and subsequent amendments. Based on the article 13 of this regulation I must provide you with some information in order to communicate how the data released by you will be processed.
