I’ve moved between disciplines, countries, and systems — always with a strategic through-line. I’ve studied, worked, and lived across Italy, Germany, the U.S., and the Netherlands, navigating multiple disciplines and systems. Each step has helped me sharpen how I think about innovation, development, and the future of the West.

• I studied Economics and Social Sciences at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, before transitioning to Political Science at the University of Trieste, where I focused on governance, institutions, and national development.

• I’m now completing my MSc in Innovation Management at the University of Trento and the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies — with a thesis on open innovation as a macro topic under the guidance of Prof. Alberto Di Minin and Giovanni Tolin.

Alongside my academic path:

• I interned at the Italian State Mint (IPZS), working on digital identity and public innovation strategies tied to the CIE (Carta d’Identità Elettronica).

• I’ve worked across translation, media, and business support, helping startups and founders with internationalization, communications, and strategy.

• I wrote for Primorski Dnevnik as a teenager [and BreakingTech ?], exploring the political and cultural dynamics of Italy and the U.S. through a local yet global lens.

• I’ve volunteered on political campaigns, participated in leadership programs, and helped coordinate civic and cultural events — always looking for ways to bridge action and ideas.

One of the most formative experiences of my life was my exchange year in Arizona (Blue Ridge High School). It gave me a firsthand understanding of American scale, optimism, and ambition, and left a lasting impression that continues to shape my trajectory today.

And somewhere in between it all, I also played baseball — representing Italy internationally, including at the European Championships. The discipline, competition, and teamwork still carry over.

Each step — academic, personal, or athletic — sharpened my ability to navigate systems, cultures, and ideas, and pushed me toward the long-term goals I now pursue.
