CEO @ Deep Marketing Best Agency Italy 2025 103x ROAS Bestselling Author Branding Professor Cited in Treccani Ex Ray-Ban Senior AI Dev

I have lived many lives: AI developer, teacher, pianist and composer, marketing manager, science communicator, essayist. This variety forces me to see the big picture, fuelled by an obstinate quest for the laws that govern human and scientific matters. I'm not your typical Italian entrepreneur and consultant. I'm more of a digital cowboy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions I receive about scientific marketing, AI, and consulting.

faq faq faq
It is the application of the scientific method to marketing: hypothesis testing, statistical analysis, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience to make decisions based on evidence, not opinions or passing trends.
I develop custom AI solutions: from predictive analytics to NLP, from process automation to building SaaS tools. I have been working with AI since 2003, long before the current boom.
I work with companies of all sizes, startups, and professionals who want real, data-driven strategies. If you are looking for someone to tell you "post more often," I am not the right person.
Deep Marketing is the agency I founded and lead. It is the top marketing agency in Italy according to Trustpilot, with a team of over 30 professionals specializing in scientific marketing and AI.
I have published 6 books on scientific marketing, branding, AI applied to business, and digital strategies. Every book is based on academic research and real case studies, not abstract theories.
My work on distinguishing scientific marketing from unverifiable practices (the so-called "fuffaguru") was recognized and cited by the Treccani Encyclopedia as a significant contribution to the field.
In 2025 I received three international recognitions: CEO of the Year from EU Business News, Best Marketing Agency in Italy for Deep Marketing, and inclusion in the GPMG Global 100 of the world's top marketing consultants.
I am a passionate pianist and musician (I played in bands for years). I dedicate myself to value investing, applying the same analytical rigor I use in marketing. I have a strong interest in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and the philosophy of science.
