Pagamenti in movimento – tra Londra e Milano

C’erano anni in cui il biglietto del tram era ancora di carta, ma nell’aria si sentiva già odore di futuro.
A Londra, nei primi anni Duemila, il viaggio quotidiano stava cambiando forma grazie a una piccola tessera blu: la Oyster Card.
Nata nel 2003 da una collaborazione fra Transport for London, TranSys e Royal Bank of Scotland, fu il primo vero esperimento di pagamento contactless per il trasporto pubblico di massa.

UN: Il filo invisibile

Tutto cominciò a Ginevra, nella sede ONU dove si stavano preparando le prime linee guida del World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).
Era un ambiente febbrile, in cui si intrecciavano visioni geopolitiche e speranze concrete: i rappresentanti dei Paesi africani parlavano di connessioni rurali, i delegati asiatici discutevano di telecentri comunitari, gli europei di governance della rete.
Nel corridoio tra una plenaria e l’altra, si sentivano parole come digital divide, empowerment, sustainability.

Il segnale che cambiò la televisione

A Torino, in Corso Eusebio Giambone 68, si respirava qualcosa di storico.
Nel 2004, cinquant’anni esatti dopo la prima trasmissione televisiva italiana, la RAI avviava ufficialmente la televisione digitale terrestre.
Quello stesso edificio che un tempo era simbolo della TV analogica ora accendeva il primo segnale DTT del Paese.
Un anniversario che non celebrava solo il passato, ma sanciva la nascita del futuro.

Welcome to Francesco's personal site

Greetings, and a very warm welcome to my personal website. It is a pleasure to have you here.

This space is dedicated to sharing insights, expertise, and reflections I have developed over the years at the intersection of technology, social sciences, and organizational change. My work has always been guided by a strong belief that innovation is not only about tools and systems, but also about people, culture, and the way we build more inclusive, resilient, and forward-looking societies.

Within these digital pages, you will find a curated collection of content spanning my professional experiences, research contributions, and ongoing explorations. Some of this work focuses on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence and digital technologies in organizations and civil society, while other pieces draw on the lens of social studies, examining how individuals and communities adapt to, influence, and sometimes resist technological change.

My aim is to offer a space that is informative, engaging, and conducive to meaningful dialogue between disciplines. Technology does not exist in a vacuum: its impact unfolds in the workplace, in governance, in education, and in the very fabric of our daily lives. Understanding these dynamics requires a multidisciplinary perspective—one that I strive to bring forward through my teaching, writing, and applied projects.

To universities, research centers, and academic institutions: I welcome opportunities to collaborate. Whether through guest lectures, workshops, executive education sessions, or joint initiatives, I am committed to advancing critical reflection and practical knowledge at the crossroads of social research and digital transformation. Together, we can explore how emerging technologies are reshaping organizational structures, labor, leadership, and citizen engagement—and how societies can harness innovation responsibly to generate public value.

I invite you to explore this website at your own pace. Should you have questions, proposals, or feedback, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Your presence here is deeply valued, and I look forward to the possibility of exchanging ideas and co-creating knowledge with you.

Thank you for visiting, and for joining me in this journey that bridges social studies and technology for the benefit of organizations and civil society.

Warm regards
