In Brussels, a robot from Genoa asks Renzi: “Do you speak English?”

by admin

On December 18, 2014 the semester of Italian presidency of the European Union, I had been Digital Champion for a few weeks and I was on a stage in a Brussels theater (the Bozar, in the Palace of Fine Arts: I remember it elegant, but a little neglected).

I had been Digital Champion for a few months and I had proposed to end the Italian semester by telling the best of our innovation in a 90-minute event, the duration of a match of football. Choosing the protagonists was difficult, but reading them again today, on the invitation card, I can say that I would make the same choices. Here they are: Massimo Banzi, Stefano Boeri, Davide Dattoli, Fabiola Giannotti, Salvatore Giuliano, Matteo Lai, Giorgio Metta, Alessadra Poggiani, Carlo Ratti, Chiara Tonelli and Mario Vigentini. I am almost sure that Samantha Cristoforetti was there too, who had been on the Space Station for the Futura mission for a few days and sent us a clip. The event ended with a performance by Raphael Gualazzi.

Of all the stories that were told, only the fact that il robot iCub, that Giorgio Metta had brought us from Genoa, asked to ask a question to the Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, only said: “Do you speak English?” replied: “Pleasure mister Shish” (here the video).

But of those 90 minutes me I remember two other moments: when the architect Chiara Tonelli, who had won the Olympics on the house of the future, interrupted his speech because the premier in the front row was talking to him saying: “Oh no Matteo, now you listen to me.” And the principal Salvatore Giuliano, who after having recounted the wonderful school created in Brindisi (Majorana), he said that only 3 ingredients were needed to make it. And we were waiting for who knows what he would say. he said, “Passion. Passion. And more passion “.
