Giorgio Diegoli
Born in 1981, from the province of Bologna, I'm curious, I believe in what I do, and I put a lot of passion into it. I hold the position of Sales Director at a company that offers technological services to businesses. I work with people, and the relationships between them stimulate me a lot. My passion for the sky exploded following the loss of my father. I needed to feel connected to something I didn't understand, to imagine, to glimpse meanings much larger than myself. For me, DeepLab is an opportunity to understand time, to disseminate knowledge, and to grow as a person. In DeepLab, I handle business relationships and project growth.

Massimiliano Peri
Born in 1976, from Riva Trigoso in the Ligurian Riviera di Levante, I am determined and strive to achieve my goals in the shortest time possible. Daily challenged by new trials, I have learned to take advantage. I am a Computer Engineer registered with the Genoa Engineering Association, and I provide consultancy to companies. Throughout my work experience, I have acquired skills in the field of designing microcontroller systems, industrial automation, and human-machine interfaces. In 1984, I received my first telescope, a Konus "yellow" 70/900, for Christmas, and that's when my passion for astronomy began. My first "astrophoto" dates back to a few years later with a mechanical SLR camera: a beautiful blurry moon! Unfortunately, for a long period, I had to abandon this passion, and only in recent years have I had the opportunity to resume it. DeepLab is, for me, a challenge! In DeepLab, I handle all aspects necessary for the remote automation of observatories, as well as develop and post-process images for the group.

Gianni Di Bello
Class of '89, born in Florence. In DeepLab, I reside in the control room to manage the acquisition sequences. In the setup, I'm the jack-of-all-trades regarding shooting setups and observatories.
