About Me and OpenStreetMap

I’m an active contributor to OpenStreetMap with a focus on Italy, believing in the power of open data and the strength of community-driven mapping.

My interests range from improving hiking and outdoor data to developing custom tools and maps for Garmin GPS devices. Recently, I have also been dedicating myself to completing the mapping of towns and villages in my region — places I’ve always known or visit for work or leisure. It’s disappointing to find so little on OSM when you happen to be around there !

My main goal is to enhance the completeness and quality of the map. Although I prefer to work in unmapped areas, sometimes I may edit features previously mapped by others or make mistakes. My approach is always constructive — I never intend to criticize others’ work or contribute superficially. In this spirit, I welcome any respectful and constructive feedback aimed at continuous improvement.

Although I have completed several thousand changesets and contribute actively almost every day, I recognize there is always more to learn — from both experienced mappers and newcomers to the Project.

Mapping is not just a hobby. The potential uses of open data are endless, and the possibilities offered by OpenStreetMap are enormous. The fact that it’s all free and maintained by a global community of volunteers is both fascinating and revolutionary. Another reason why it’s so hard to stop…
