ANTONIO PIOLANTI

Biography

Born in Rimini on May 17, 1965. Both of his parents were teachers, instilling in him a passion for reading, starting from the "Corriere dei Piccoli" to great novelists. In 1986, he completed his high school studies in Rimini and, during those years, attended one of the first experimental courses in programming. The next step was the University of Information Sciences in Milan, also somewhat experimental, but the constant fog and cold of a city so different from Rimini, combined with the early programming jobs he started to undertake, prevented him from completing his university studies. Returning to Rimini, the capital of tourism, the land of hospitality and innovation, in 1988, together with his school friend, he founded Lasersoft, a company oriented from its inception to the development of software applications for Hospitality and Retail. From that moment, he combined his entrepreneurial activity with a few weekly hours as a teacher in various professional courses, an activity he pursued for personal pleasure, which is evidently part of his DNA. Since 1988, he has concentrated his energies on the company he founded, initially as a programmer and later, as the company grew, taking on the role of CEO, leading his company to success, which today has crossed national borders, specializing in applications for hospitality and retail, with highly innovative software solutions. He is interested in art, architecture, design, and beauty in all its forms. Isn’t software a form of art too?
