The Italian Culture

Innovation in Italy is tied to their cultural heritage – drawing inspiration from the past and connecting it to the future.

Italy reminds us to consider the beauty of life, the charm of simplicity, and how we can use technology to elevate everyday moments into powerful feelings.

With Vicky’s curiosity, we will travel around the country to talk with the people and companies driving the cloud culture here.
