The Italian Institute for the Future is the first Italian think-tank focused on futures studies, scenario foresight and global megatrends. Since 2014 I'm the editor-in-chief of FUTURI, the Institute's journal (www.futurimagazine.it). My areas of expertise include the social long-term impacts of current and future technologies, job automation, existential risks, megatrend analysis. As a futurist, I'm a speaker and consultant for companies, institutions and NGOs. Among the projects I was in charge of, the annual National Futurological Congress, the Meetings of the Italian Futurists, the EU funded projects "Youth Committee for the Future", "T.A.K.E. PART" on digital democracy, and a project funded by the City of Naples: "Napoli Foresight Center" on the opportunities of Urban Digital Twins.
