Graduate in Agri-environmental Sciences, graduated with a grade of 110/110 cum laude in October 2017 at the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Milan, with a thesis on land take and ecosystem services. He is currently working as an aggregate researcher (research fellow), at the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (DISAA) of the University of Milan. His research activity focuses on the following topics: - Green infrastructures and sustainable storm water management. - Planning of the rural territory with regard to the green component (urban, peri-urban, agro-forestry and natural). - Assessment of ecosystem services related to green infrastructures. - Collaboration on the definition of methodologies and procedures for integrating ecosystem services into planning practice. - Assessment of land take with GIS (Geographical Information Systems) tools. - Collaboration in the definition of methodologies and procedures for the quality evaluation of natural and semi-natural lands. - Design, creation and development of Geographical Information Systems dedicated to unbuilt areas, at municipal and wide area level. - Management, implementation of territorial databases and processing of geographical data in ArcGIS and QGIS environments. - Creation of applications and websites, based on ESRI's Web-GIS technology. - Development of on-line questionnaires and statistical analysis of collected data. - Planning and design of soft mobility networks.
Growing and uncontrolled urbanization and climate change (with an associated increase in the frequency of intense meteoric events) have led to a rising number of flooding events in urban areas due to the insufficient capacity of conventional drainage systems. Nature-Based Solutions represent a contribution to addressing these problems through the creation of a multifunctional green infrastructure, both in urban areas and in the countryside. The aim of this work was to develop a methodology to define Green Infrastructure for stormwater management at the municipal level. The methodology is defined on the basis of three phases: the definition of the territorial information needed, the production of base maps, and the production of a Suitability Map. In the first phase, we define the information needed for the identification of non-urbanized areas where rainwater can potentially infiltrate, as well as areas with soil characteristics that can exclude or limit rainwater infiltration. In the second phase, we constructed the following base maps: a “map of green areas”, a “map of natural surface infiltration potential” and a “map of exclusion areas”. In phase 3, starting from the base maps created in phase 2 and using Geographical Information Systems’ (GIS) geoprocessing procedures, the “Green area compatibility map to realize Green Infrastructure”, the “map of areas not suitable for infiltration” and the final “Green Infrastructure Suitability Map” are created. This methodology should help municipal authorities to set up Green Infrastructure Suitability Maps as a tool for land-use planning.
