Riccardo Giumelli

Riccardo Giumelli was born in Carrara in 1978. An aphorism that more than others speaks to him is one that Machiavelli credits to Boccaccio: “It is better to act and repent, than not to act and regret”. Like them, he is Tuscan, a restless soul looking for harbours to dock in and set off from again. He is a sociologist, teaching Communication Theories and Techniques at the University of Verona and Research Methodology in the Digital Society at Unimercatorum University. He has been a visiting professor at the University of Mar del Plata, in the Italian Culture and Glocalization studies programme. He is a journalist for La Voce di New York. He is Chairman of the Italy-United States Association of Verona. He is a member of the Board of Directors of APS Radici Venete, a winning project for Veneto with regard to roots tourism. He is the author of several monographs, including: Post-made in Italy. Nuovi significati, nuove sfide nella società globale; Scoprirsi italiani. Il viaggio delle radici in Italia.
