I started using WordPress in 2005, but soon after the release of the first version of Joomla! I abandoned WordPress (and I don't regret it). During those years, I was also a member of IWA, which led to the Stanca Law for accessibility in Italy. Within IWA, I was the Chapter for the province of Milan.

I had the misfortune of starting to use WordPress in 2005, but soon after the first version of Joomla! was released, I immediately abandoned WordPress (and I've never regretted it).
During those years, I was also a member of IWA, which led to the Stanca Law for accessibility. Within IWA, I was the Chapter for the province of Milan.
I later became a regular visitor to the Italian Forum during Alessandro Rossi's (AlexRed) days, translating components and developing a few modules. I've participated in several Joomla Days, which have been helpful in my professional career.
In Italy, there's been a bit of a decline in interest in our beloved Joomla! CMS. For this reason, about a year ago, even though I'm now retired, I started working to find people who would like to relaunch the Italian community with me and promote Joomla!.
I've built hundreds of websites with Joomla!, even carrying out various migrations (sometimes with some difficulty), but always with final satisfaction.
And now I'm getting ready to discover Joomla! 6 and I'm happy that it was also developed with a focus on accessibility.
