…….continues the series of meetings with Italian personalities of the Research and Innovation World.
The Creative Industries SERIES has become a real format, a kind of media in its own right, not television or traditional, it is a talk show formula around which a real community has been created. A format that has very precise characteristics, that is to say, to tell a news story through a thematic transversality, with a discussion an open dialogue approach.
