chief science and technology editor at Nòva24 - Il Sole 24 Ore
Milan Area, Italy
I'm an innovation journalist. After getting a degree in Economics at Bocconi University, my research started from Social History studies, with Fernand Braudel in Paris, Aldo De Maddalena in Milan and Claudio Povolo in Venice. I then became a journalist, helping the start up of a financial daily newspaper in Italy, while I continued my research: in Ethics and Economics for an Italian bank, and in local development at the Oecd. Since 1994, the internet has become for me a major opportunity for developping new ideas in newsmaking. In 2005, I started the Nòva project at Il Sole 24 Ore. I still lead the lively and forward looking group of people that writes Nòva.

Innovation journalism is about developing a perspective to look at facts with a forward looking approach: a sort of history of the future. It means that it is research. And that innovation journalist should be humble and passionate. I think I am.

Journalism is set to change. New tools and languages, new business models are both a threat and an opportunity for independent journalism as a social service. My job is meant to make the most of the opportunities. Most of my articles and books examine the notion of "vision" by following the experiences of those people that have been able to create one of their own and writing about their achievements, battles and failures. My projects aim to contribute to both the development of the operational relationships between different media (paper, Internet, radio, TV, and books) and to look for new applications for a social contribution of journalism.
