Here is the speech held at the AIESEC http://www.aiesec.org/AI "51° Global Leaders Summit", Rome 2009.
First of all thanks to all the students attending the conference: you rock! :)
The point of the talk was to share the experience of Internet in Italy, a country where Internet is still far to be widely used :( - 6 italians on 10 not using Internet yet; second last european country for internet usage - and focus on web opportunities for those people living in digital divide countries (for example what we are mainly dealing with here in Italy, and i guess in several countries around the world, is not only a technological, of infrastructure problem, but a cultural problem).
With Codice Internet, http://www.codiceinternet.it an italian project based for the last six months I have been going around in Italy to various places, universities, squares, Parliament, conventions with 10 or 3000 people, festivals (!) meetings and all kinds of placeswhatever it takes to stay in contact with non internet people to divulge Internet and I'd really appreciate your feedback and suggestions about the digital divide matter.
Thanks :)

ciao marco, venni a vederti ad osaka l'anno scorso sotto consiglio del mio professore garr reynolds e devo dirti che rimasi davvero impressionato dalle tue proprietà di linguaggio [oltre che dalle slide chiaramente in stile "zen presentation"] :)
complimenti di nuovo!
