About
I'm 24 and studied Economics at the University of Bologna. For a few years now I've been turning ideas into real brands and systems that create actual impact. The thread is always the same: understand a problem deeply, build a pragmatic answer, and get it to market without wasting time in theory.
With Porty Clothes I gave a second life to discarded garments and fabrics, drawing on the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi: just as the art repairs broken ceramics with gold, making them more valuable than before, I turn textile waste into one-of-a-kind pieces — a concrete answer to fast fashion and textile pollution.
With Praxisy I bring artificial intelligence into Italian public administration: official documents generated in minutes instead of hours, PNRR funds intercepted before they expire, and a citizen help desk that's always open — without ever taking the signature, or the responsibility, away from the person in charge.
Outside of Praxisy and Porty Clothes you'll usually find me in the garden or in the kitchen: two passions I tend with the same patience as Kintsugi.
Projects
AI for Public Administration
An AI governance platform, built on Claude, designed for Italy's 7,904 municipalities: it generates resolutions and decisions in minutes, automatically matches EU recovery-fund (PNRR) tenders, and opens a citizen help desk active 24/7 in 10 languages. The AI writes the draft, the officer always signs it.
Sustainable Fashion · Upcycling
A young brand that gives new life to discarded garments and fabrics, inspired by the philosophy of Kintsugi: textile waste becomes one-of-a-kind pieces, a concrete answer to fast fashion and textile pollution.
Practical execution, real impact, the ability to scale ideas: the common thread between the two projects.
Philosophy
Every project is an experiment. Every mistake is one more data point.
