A Presidio Letterario Book Presentation with Professor Luigi Troiani
Join us for an evening exploring Italian ingenuity and the story of an invention that transformed how we work and live.
Professor Luigi Troiani will present Adriano Olivetti: The Italian Who Invented the Personal Computer, a new volume celebrating an Italian contribution to the history of computing that remains too little known.
Through the story of Olivetti and the Programma 101, the event invites us to discover a remarkable chapter in Italy’s industrial and cultural history.
