Francesco Bernardi
Founder & Owner ILLUMIA
Engineer, originally from Urbino, 66. I have spent a good part of my life dealing with energy, first as a researcher and then as a consultant for giants in the sector, from Eni to Iri.
I was head of the technical secretariat of the Ministry of Productive Activities during the years of liberalization, and in 2004 I took on the vice-presidency of Gestore dei mercati energetici, Italy's "power exchange." In 2006 I founded DSE (now Illumia) with the participation of the Swiss multinational Duferco, and in 2010 I took over all the shares of the company, which thus became part of Holding Tremagi, becoming its president and shareholder. In 2016, the generational transition: I left the management of the group to my sons. To Marco the leadership of the group, as the new President, Matteo has the position of CEO and Giulia is in charge of Human Resources. So I started a new adventure by founding Emotional Experience, a reality that wants to explore the countless potential of technologies at the service of entertainment and art to experiment, enhance and convey a new way of communication. Emotional Experience's recent production is the exhibition VivaVivaldi, exhibited first in Venice and then in Bologna.
