Mario Guglielmetti has been working on data protection for the last ten years, first at the Italian Garante, then at the Data Protection Unit of the European Commission, and currently at the EDPS, first at the Supervision Unit, now at the Policy Unit. Before realizing that data protection turned into 'the law of everything', Mario worked on international taxation, competition, administrative and labour law for public and private bodies. 'Going north' from his hometown close to Naples, he studied at the University of Pisa, then for a Ph.D. in administrative law in Trento, ultimately in Brugge at the College of Europe. He has a passion and a kind of knowledge, as vast as superficial, of history and philosophy. He participated in a work-camp in Greece for the International Civil Service and of course belongs to the 'Erasmus student generation' (not the very first, but still).
