Francesco Gagliardi is a professional journalist and a graduate of the University of Santa Croce, where he teaches Media Relations. In 2004, he was a promotor and founder of the Artemide Association, and in 2010, of Eptaforum, a think tank which has the objective of exploring themes of economic and social character, bringing together original ideas on the means to better Italian society in order to develop a policy agenda that contributes to the emergence of new leadership able to govern for the good of the country. With Artemide and Eptaforum, Gagliardi has organized numerous explorative seminars at the “Sturzo Institute” and “Catholic Civilization” (2005 “To think of the future. Italy after the stage of reform”, “Development and Employment. What is the Future for the youth of Italy?”, “Restoration, development, work, and the future of the youth. Commitments and prospects for the common good,” “The mechanism of representation for the reconstruction of a country,” “Renewing the democracy to avoid suffering a crisis”).
In 2014, Gagliardi coordinated and implemented, as editor, the book “A Good Season for Italy. Ideas and proposals for the reconstruction of the Country and Europe,” which was published in October of 2015 with the editor Castelvecchi, exactly seventy years after the publication of the Code of Camaldoli.
