Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio, with its historic Salone Del Cinquecento, provided a fitting stage for the 2025 edition of The Italian Mind Luxury Summit — a gathering of Italy’s most influential thought leaders, entrepreneurs, global experts, and iconic luxury brands.

As co-founder of the Italian Mind Foundation, alongside Marco Gianni and Maurizio Mancianti, I had the privilege of moderating two panels that explored the singular aim of the foundation and the event: to strategize how “Made in Italy” can remain relevant and inspiring for the next generation of luxury clients.
