Franco Bolelli
Franco Bolelli (born 1950 in Milan) is an Italian philosopher. A very prolific writer with many books to his credit, he explores the most advanced areas of evolution in order to connect and enhance different creative worlds. One of the unique aspects of Bolelli’s writings, that has led to his popularity, is the ability to discuss the most complex philosophical issues in a very down-to-earth style with plenty of references to pop culture. As an example of this, among his philosophical influences he mentions Nietzsche and Taoism along with the game of basketball and rock’n roll.
In addition to writing, Bolelli has also organized plenty of lectures, festivals and events that have gathered together some of the finest names on the Italian cultural scene. The most famous of these festivals were FRONTIERE (1998–2001) and Living Simplicity (2006).
