Artificial intelligence has radically changed the way we produce and consume images. In less than ten years, we’ve gone from experiments like DeepDream—turning photos into dreamlike, distorted visions—to platforms such as DALL·E, MidJourney, and Stable Diffusion, capable of creating detailed illustrations or photorealistic images from a simple written description. Today, there’s no need to master…
This summer, a new sociological species was discovered and discussed all over social media: performative males. With a tote bag over their shoulder, wired earphones and a Labubu accessory, these men are the subject of a number of ironic videos online, mocking how these men will pretend to be someone to attract women. However, the…
Tanning has always been more than just a skin reaction to the sun. It’s a social code, a marker of identity, a collective narrative that shifts with time, cultural models, and class dynamics. Once a sign of poverty and hard labor, later a symbol of vacation and well-being, today tanning is slowly turning into a…
The wait for the white smoke has never been so loud. In recent days, as the cardinals gather in the Sistine Chapel to elect the successor to Pope Francis, the 2025 Conclave has become a global phenomenon—not just religious, but also cultural, social, and even political. The echo of the event, amplified by social networks…
This week, a sudden blackout plunged large areas of Spain, France, and Portugal into darkness. Traffic lights shut down, traffic came to a standstill, appliances went silent. But the most invisible — and perhaps the most impactful — consequence was the paralysis of communication. No signal, no network, no electricity. The deepest and least visible…
Eighty years ago, Italy freed itself from the fascist regime. April 25, 1945, was not just the final act of a war but the beginning of a new collective narrative. From that spring day in 1945, Liberation Day has become a fundamental occasion to remember a dark period in Italian history. And it wasn’t just…
Over the past twenty years, ranking on search engines has been one of the key goals for companies, bloggers, and marketing professionals. The art of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) dictated the rules for being visible on Google: keywords, backlinks, site structure, optimized content. But today, the arrival of generative artificial intelligence, like ChatGPT, is rewriting…
Despite horrible reviews and criticism from fans of the titular game, A Minecraft Movie has become a massive success, and it owes all of it to the power of memes.

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized the world of generated art and animation, enabling the creation of images that faithfully reproduce iconic styles. One of the latest trends involves generating images in the style of Studio Ghibli, the renowned Japanese animation studio founded by Hayao Miyazaki. Thanks to the AI image generation feature integrated…
Often underestimated, sometimes even ridiculed, a degree in Communication Sciences in Italy carries with it a certain unfounded reputation: that of an “easy” course, lacking rigor or concrete content. The recurring irony – “science of snacks” – aptly captures the widespread prejudice.
Yet, in a world where every gesture, word, choice, or silence generates a…
Christmas is here, and with it comes the Grinch. Every year, the festive season brings a host of symbols and icons that embody the holiday spirit.

The last Friday of November has been widely known as “Black Friday” by shoppers all around the world for quite some time. But, how did it begin? Was it a brilliant marketing strategy or just a fluke? Turns out, a little bit of both.
Why is it called “Black Friday”?
The day most people associate…
A recent advert by the Coca-Cola Company generated massive backlash due to its use of artificial intelligence. While Coca-Cola and other brands believe AI will only become more capable of creating advertisements in the future, others see it as a troubling sign for the future of work in the arts. The underlying question, however, is:…
Every business or public figure wants a constant flow of attention towards what they offer. A customer making a purchase is great, but if that customer buys two, three, four times—it's even better! This indicates loyalty to the brand and alignment with its values. But how can you achieve this result?
The answer is (relatively)…
Halloween has been steadily creeping into various countries' collective consciousness, making it a ripe festivity for big brands to engage with in their marketing campaigns.

Did you know “OK” was an abbreviation just like “LOL” or “OMG”? Modern communication often resembles ancient hieroglyphs more than it does any other form of writing. Although GIFS, memes and emojis are almost exclusively served for digital communication, one modern technique has seemingly transcended written media: word abbreviations. Short-hands like “LOL” (laugh out loud),…
In today's digital world, SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is one of the most powerful tools for ensuring online visibility. A website that appears among the top search results has a much higher chance of being found by users, and that’s where SEO comes into play. Companies like Airbnb and Shopify, which have climbed to success…
Advertising campaigns can make or break a film’s success. Ironically dubbed “Jokeropolis” on X, formerly Twitter, the double feature described as the antithesis of “Barbenheimer” has seemingly been endorsed by none other than Francis Ford Coppola himself. Despite becoming viral online, almost on par with last year’s Barbie and Oppenheimer, the two newest films, Megalopolis…
In recent years, Italian law enforcement has shown a growing interest in new technologies and digital communication platforms, but the Carabinieri are taking it a step further by radically revamping their presence on social media. They operate both as a military force and a civil police agency, meaning they play a dual role in national…
Marketing is a powerful force that drives much of our social and commercial interactions. It’s no surprise that the world of cinema has often drawn inspiration from this universe, telling stories that highlight the power of communication, innovation, and, at times, the ethical implications of these dynamics. From the rise of major tech entrepreneurs to…
In recent years, the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) has dominated discussions about the future of many professions, including intellectual ones. It’s not uncommon to hear that the journalist, as we know them today, is destined to disappear, swept away by automation. But is that really the case? Recently, I found myself reflecting on this…
In today’s modern communication landscape, crisis management has become a crucial element for any company or public figure. A recent example that highlights the importance of effective crisis management is the case faced by the Ordine delle Professioni Infermieristiche (Order of Nursing Professionals) of Turin, which was mistakenly involved in a news event. This was…
The recent elections in Italy highlighted an ongoing trend that's always on the rise: people, more than ideologies and policies, and communication are what determine the success of the campaign. This phenomenon has occured throughout different political techniques, from local elections to regional ones all the way to European elections. An emblematic example of such…
Facebook just turned 20 years old! In 2004, Facebook made its debut in the U.S as a platform meant to connect students and was limited to those frequenting Harvard University.

Silvio Berlusconi, symbol of modern age communication and one of the most divisive characters in all of Italian history.
