Davide Federici is a rare figure in the field of professional communications, because he manages to put something extra into every initiative, in addition to working with method, precision and determination. He puts his personal passion into every initiative he undertakes, as if it were a new and exciting game. Of course, many people are involved in communication and many do it with intelligence, but he is unique in that he combines professional intelligence with the gift of his own passion, which makes people participate in the initiatives he undertakes. In him there is not only a commitment to work, rigour, precision, but also the ability to give and open others to new emotions.
