Here is a brief clip from my podcast interview with Dr. Luca Cottini, Associate Professor at Villanova University and host/creator of the YouTube show Italian Innovators. He holds a PhD from Harvard University, a MA from the University of Notre Dame, and a BA from the University of Milan. He was trained as a classical philologist in Italy, and a cultural historian in the US.
His YouTube channel ([ Ссылка ]) explores the Italian model of entrepreneurship and innovation through cultural profiles, interviews, and lessons across different disciplines (fashion, food, technology, sports, music, engineering).
In our conversation, we discuss:
1. What attracted Dr. Cottini to study design and innovation.
2. His thoughts on Galileo being the father of modern science.
3. How Italy’s humanities-focused education influences science.
4. How different ideas contribute to each other and create innovation.
5. Some examples of encounters with beauty that spurred innovation.
6. How aesthetic principles might also hinder innovation
7. The role of beauty in the future of science.
8. How to cultivate intellectual humility and drive in the face of failure.
