Project Manager with a solid background in complex financial-technical projects in ICT, I have been working for two start-up GSM/UMTS projects and for the National Public Procurement Agency in Italy where I have been a member (representing the TLC area) of the Green Public Procurement team, in order to introduce environmental requirements for a sustainable development.
Freelance travel photographer and web business entrepreneur in my spare time, I’m developing my Stock Photography e-commerce website, www.vincenzopistorio.com, using xHTML and PHP and accordingly with W3C and CSS standards with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques, as I described on my blog http://vincenzopistorio.blogspot.com. As a Small Business Internet consultant, I am particularly focused on Web Design, Web Marketing and Web Business through new technology media and new social networks.
I particularly love travel and socio-cultural photography, trying to "tell" stories by images. My work is available on my website (www.vincenzopistorio.com) where it is also possible to buy Fine Art Prints or to license images for commercial or editorial use.
