CV


I have always connected a strong passion for philosophy in general and for bioethics in particular with an interest in communication techniques and technologies. I believe that in good philosophy depth of thought and formal correctness must coexist with practical impact and communicability.

I am strongly interested in storytelling conceived as a convergence and as a way to convey and communicate intellectual and emotional content in an easy and accessible way. Tried my best in this TEDx talk.

I love climbing, mountaineering, cycling, paragliding and everything that involves a bit of adventure. And yes, I am a big nerd. 🤓
