The Future Belongs to Those Who FEEL Differently
The School of Vision is a modular journey into the art of generating vision.
Visionaries are not born—they are shaped by exposure to the right ways of thinking and the right emotional state.
In a world where AI can process information faster than any human, the real advantage isn't knowing anymore—it's asking different questions.
Vision emerges not just from intellect, but from the ability to connect, perceive, and feel complexity.
This is not about memorizing answers, but about cultivating a mindset that blends critical thought with emotional clarity—because the future will belong to those who know how to see differently.
[ Course Overview ]
Each chapter unfolds in a different Italian city where context becomes catalyst.
Rome, Florence, and Milan are not just locations, but active environments that amplify learning through cultural depth, aesthetic intensity, and visionary resonance.
The program blends in-class theory, expert insights, encounters with contemporary visionaries, and visits to places where ideas, industries, and imaginaries take form.
Each city reveals a distinct dimension of vision:
[ROME]
Crafting identity that resonates through time, using the power of the symbolic
[FLORENCE]
Merging disciplines to shape a unique and unmistakable vision through collective intelligence
[MILAN]
Shaping reality through storytelling, sensemaking, and the strategic interpretation of complexity
[ Meet the Experts ]
Spazio Taverna brings together an international network of artists, scientists, architects, curators, technology experts, entrepreneurs, designers, writers, philosophers, futurists, and cultural changemakers—visionaries who will contribute to the School of Vision as guest experts and catalysts of thought.
The program is led by Marco Bassan , founder of Spazio Taverna.
