The water, the soul and ...the sculacciatopi


For those who attended both the rehearsal and the gala dinner, this workshop will be always reminded as that of poetry. Giambattista Dagnino, one of the Co-Organizers, introduced the metaphors of the water and the soul to address the importance of change, dynamism and passion while talking about the relationships between investors and firms. Another metaphor he introduced was that of "sculacciatopi" - the mice-spanking machine, a word that is difficult to translate even in the Italian language. While serving as "sculacciatopi", will the Academia contribute to the future development of Southern Italy?
