The future is now in their hands and they were reminded of this during Graduation day by two exceptional guests, on one side the Olympic swimming champion Massimiliano Rosolino, on the other the former student of the University of Siena and now a correspondent for the New York Times Gaia Pianigiani.

Pianigiani told her story and her journey. “You shouldn’t lose your self-confidence – she explains – I haven’t lost it and I started from here, like all of them”. “Today the students leave for their adventure, that is, the world of work – she concluded Rector Roberto Di Pietra – . I tell them to bring the ability to overcome obstacles out of the university classroom, the world is complicated, but I’m sure they will be able to face it.”
