The Associations of Project Management Community in Italy
In recent periods Italian PMI chapters are trying to make their effort even more synergic and cooperative than usual, having as a common objective the organization of the National Forum of Project Management which will be held in presence on the next October 6th for the first time after the pandemics. This joint initiative of the three PMI Italian Chapters (PMI Northern Italy Chapter, PMI Central Italy Chapter and PMI Southern Italy Chapter), born in 2017, is addressed to all project managers throughout the country. After the stages of Florence, Naples and Milan and the exclusively online editions of the last two years, the National Forum of Project Management 2023 will take place in Bologna, specifically at the headquarters of Fico Eataly World[4], selected for their thematic and geographical centrality with this year’s theme: food for thought. “Food”, therefore, not only as nourishment for the body, but also as an inexhaustible source of creativity, culture and sharing. The Italian excellence that has always been expressed at the highest levels through its food culture and activities, such as sustainable agriculture and food & wine sectors right in its Bolognese temple, crosses the boundaries to embrace the wider ones of design in its multiple areas: from the automotive industry to computer science, from fashion to services.
Morning session will be about the following matters:
- “Thinking about food”, presented by Augusto Enrico Semprini, specialist in the treatment of reproductive disorders and immunologist. Born in Milan, where he teaches at the State University, his interest in a healthy and balanced diet has led him to deepen his knowledge with technical courses of baking, tasting of wines and cheeses;
- “Planning growth” with Anna Trevissoi, Head of product strategy and processes at Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.. Anna is a mechanical engineer and worked in various fields, including Project Management, before taking over the leadership of Product Strategy at Lamborghini.

- “Nourishing body and mind”, with Monia Caramma – sustainable food researcher, nutrition expert, independent popularizer and columnist – Included by Forbes in the list of the 100 most influential women in Italy, committed to promoting a healthy and sustainable diet. Her research experience allows her to share valuable information about informed food choices);
