Francesco Vincenti is the driving force behind Digitalia, with a solid background in different fields of tech, web3, and co-founding the Dao “Sewer” and “NFTcc” in 2021. With more than 50 events organized in 4 main cities, from small meetups to 300+ people conferences, Francesco and his team nurtured and shaped web3 culture in Italy, and expanding into creating more events’ formats like “AI Factory”, XR, and human-machine interaction. In January 2024, with the first Network State Meetup in Italy, Francesco expanded the relationship with Italy's top web3 communities which run the biggest local Ethereum conferences and hackathons: ETHMilan, ETHRome, NapulETH and SpaghettETH. Together we decided to promote Digitalia as the country's first web3 hub, which might even serve as a central housing location and facilitate traveling for selected attendees coming for those Ethereum events this year, all planned to happen during the same month.
