You've reached the personal web site of Marcello Brivio, 25 y.o. web enthusiast from Italy. These pages are my excuse to have bought a domain with my name without having nothing important to do with it (except indulging my ego).
I live near the city of Milan and I'm currently working for MTV Italy as a web producer in a team dedicated to develop, update and maintain the music portal MTV.it.
In 2004 I took a bachelor's degree in Communication at the University of Bergamo, followed two years later by a master's degree in Multimedia Publishing. During this last period, I collaborated to the planning and the design of PartecipaTrezzo.it, an e-democracy platform (one of the first ever made in my country).
In addition to these web-related activities, my other interests are:
- Sport: I am a football fan, but actually I'm much better as a narrator than as a player... I am the self-proclamed unofficial blogger, photographer, video-operator and first supporter of my town's team, A.S. Verderio.
- Photography: since I first met iPhoto in late 2006, I have understood the beauty of taking photographs and keeping them well organized. Now I'm using Aperture and sometimes I think I'm becoming a good photographer... Don't believe it? Then you should watch my best shots on Flickr (what an amazing web site!).
- Music: I am in a band called Handle With Care in which I play the guitar. My axe is an original Fender Stratocaster made in USA, bought in 2001; I customized it with a wonderful AlecB bridge, a set of Schaller locking tuners and a GraphTech self-lubricating nut. My amp is a Vox Valvetronix AD60. Sometimes I like to record my musical ideas with my Mac, using GarageBand or Reason: I also have an USB keyboard to do this, but I'm quite bad in playing it...
