I’ve been visiting professor at Temple University (Philadelphia, USA) and at various Italian Universities. I am consultant on tourism destination projects to public authorities and tourism organizations, member of the Italian Tourism Observatory (ENIT and Ministry of Tourism) and delegate to the Convention of the Alps for the Italian Ministry of the Environment. Former member of the Board of directors of the ‘Centro Internazionale di Arte e Cultura Palazzo Te’ (Mantova) and of Fabilia Group SpA.
