Became a member in: 2011
Renewal Date: 06/Dec/2018
I am an expert in research management and innovation, founder of the worldwide famous Genova Science Festival and more recently of the Genova Makers' Village. I am now retired and dedicate more time to hobbies like ceramics and singing. I have two sons Giovanni (1988) shipbroker in London and Pietro (1991) who got the Degree in Management Psychology. We are part of a large family (my sister's and my mother's homes are downstairs) which is completed by Gatto, a nice white siamese.
