🇬🇧 Welcome to The Journey
Welcome to The Journey – a personal voyage through technology, creativity, and the people who shaped a digital era.
From the echo of early Unix terminals in Pisa to the vibrant energy of Silicon Valley, from the labs of Pregnana Milanese to the dazzling lights of Las Vegas, each chapter marks a moment of discovery, connection, and change.
Here, stories intertwine with history: engineers, dreamers, and visionaries cross paths, leaving behind traces of innovation and humanity.
Follow the chapters below to retrace this path – a story told through code, friendship, music, and the relentless curiosity that still drives the future.
I’m currently translating all the episodes into English — so for now, if you’re reading from abroad, you might need to rely on live translation tools 🙂
Each episode will be released gradually, one by one, as I want every story to keep its original tone and emotion.
My goal is to have all the translations ready before Christmas — a small gift to everyone following this journey from different corners of the world.
Thank you for your patience, curiosity, and for being part of this adventure with me. 🙏
Start exploring the chapters below — every stop has its own song, its own spark.

Apple, Siri, Gemini, ChatGPT: A Story of Marriage and Divorce
At first glance, the recent convergence between Apple and generative AI looks like a love story. In reality, it is a contract. The metaphor that best explains what is happening is not technological, but human. Much like Story of a Marriage, this is a story about alignment that works—until it…
From Digital Transformation to the Agentic Organization
For more than three decades, digital transformation has been about making organizations faster, cheaper, and more efficient. We digitized documents, automated workflows, connected systems, and optimized processes. Decision-making, however, largely remained human: technology supported it, accelerated it, and scaled it—but did not participate in it.
When Machines Think Faster Than Societies Adapt
Artificial intelligence is now a general-purpose infrastructure, comparable to electricity or the internet, yet it is spreading across the world at radically different speeds and depths. In some regions, AI is already embedded in daily professional routines—drafting documents, analyzing data, automating decisions, supporting medical diagnostics, or accelerating software development. In…
When Simplicity Becomes a Lie
After years of consultancy, I’ve come to understand that organisations are systems designed for efficiency; humans are not. Most workplace friction comes from this fundamental mismatch.
AI and Music: A Journey from Mechanical Sound to Shared Intelligence
Long before artificial intelligence, music was already a dialogue between humans and machines. The earliest encounters were mechanical: music boxes, player pianos, and automata transformed rhythm and melody into repeatable processes. These devices did not understand music, but they introduced a radical idea—that sound could be encoded, stored, and reproduced…
From Organisations to Intelligence: A Personal Journey into the Age of AI
As a new year begins, I find myself looking backward – not out of nostalgia, but to make sense of where we are going. My professional life has unfolded inside organizations: large enterprises, public administrations, international projects, complex ecosystems where technology never lives alone. It lives among people, processes, incentives,…
From Digital Government to the Agentic State
For more than three decades, governments have pursued digital transformation. The first phase focused on digitization – moving paper-based procedures online, still in progress … The second phase emphasized interoperability, shared platforms, and cross-agency integration. We are now entering a third phase, deeper and more consequential: the Agentic State. This…
Generative AI in the European Public Sector: What Five Member States Tell Us – and What Others Should Watch
While the report focuses on secondary education, its findings are far broader. Education, after all, is one of the most complex and risk-sensitive domains of the Public Sector (PS): it combines regulation, public procurement, data protection, ethics, workforce transformation, and citizen trust. As such, it acts as a proxy for…
From Tuscany to the Frontier of AI: How the Amodei Brothers Bring Humanism into Artificial Intelligence
In a global artificial intelligence landscape dominated by scale, speed, and computational power, the story of the Amodei brothers stands out for a different reason: it reconnects AI with humanistic values deeply rooted in European—and specifically Italian—cultural tradition.
From Rendering to Reasoning
In the early 1990s, Silicon Valley was a very different place. Oracle still had the atmosphere of a scrappy giant, Netscape was rewriting the rules of the web, and Sun Microsystems was the beating heart of the engineering world. “The Network Is the Computer” was not a slogan – it…
