After a short period of teaching atomic physics and nuclear plants at Enrico Fermi Institute in Frascati (Rome), he began working for the ENEA (Italian Agency for New Technology, Energy and the Environment) in 1978 in the field of Fast Reactor Safety (the French Superphenix and Italian PEC Reactors).
He was responsible for "out-of pile experiments" in the four-party agreement (France-Germany-Italy-England), from 1984 to 1990 and, subsequently, was Director of the "energetic Norms" Section, in the "Energy Saving" Division up to June 1995.
In this latter period, as Consultant for the Italian Ministry of Industry for Energy Saving in Italy, he promoted the introduction (in ENEA) of advanced evaluation methodologies of Power Plants based on the physical quantities of Exergy and Emergy, and their corresponding micro and macro-economic Theories (Exergoeconomics and Emergoeconomics respectively).
From June 1995 he worked in the "Engineering Division and Experimental Plants" as Project Manager of the so-called Integrated Multicriteria (Energetic-Exergetic-Emergetic-Economic) Approach.
