Coordinator<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2014 – present<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Born in Lucca in 1989, Davide Scano is a telecommunications engineering student and a lifelong lover of role-playing games in all their forms. In 2009, he began working with Lucca Comics & Games as a referee for the national team-based RPG tournament Ruolimpiadi.

Chair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2013 – present<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1979, Daniele Prisco discovered the world of role-playing games on a distant night in 1991, when someone introduced him to a mysterious red box. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, he organized various tournaments in the Cagliari gaming scene and, in 2003, co-founded Il 5\u00b0 Clone, one of the most influential Italian websites about Dungeons & Dragons. In the meantime, he also developed a passion for board games and collaborated with many associations, including the Cagliari chapter of La Tana dei Goblin, to promote gaming in all its forms. Since 2010, with the Mondi Sospesi association, he has helped organize Giocomix, the largest event in Sardinia dedicated to games and comics. He served as a juror for Lucca Games\u2019 Best of Show award in 2011 and 2012.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Vice Chair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2019 – present<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1978, Giovanni Bacaro is a citizen of the world with a deep love for Japan, and an associate professor at the University of Trieste. His first encounter with RPGs came when he ran a session using the red box, and he never looked back. Over the years, he has followed the evolution of role-playing games with growing interest in their scientific aspects applied to social contexts. He founded the Trieste-based association La Costola dei Barbari and launched the \u201cdiffused game library\u201d experiment, followed by his involvement in Federludo, supporting Italy\u2019s broader gaming ecosystem. He has long gone by the nickname Ishar the Grey, a reference not just to his beard, but to his identity as a gamer.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1980, he began playing role-playing games at age eleven with the legendary Dungeons & Dragons red box and has never stopped since. He is the author of Incanto. Storie di draghi, stregoni e scienziati<\/em>, a book that explores the relationship between science and fantasy in literature, cinema, comics, and RPGs. He has served as speaker and moderator at events on games and science at Lucca Comics & Games<\/em> and Play Modena<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2022 – present<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

By day, he works in IT; by night, he\u2019s a longtime role-player whose favorite catchphrase has become: \u201cOppal\u00e1 il GdR!\u201dAfter countless years playing every conceivable version of Dungeons & Dragons, he turned to the theoretical and practical study of the role-playing landscape, both in Italy and abroad. Now he knows a lot, perhaps too much. But beware: with a snap of his fingers, he can erase half of your character sheet. Or so he believes. Don\u2019t tell him otherwise\u2026 it might hurt his feelings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Giacomo Cornacchia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 – present<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A well-rounded gamer, Giacomo is passionate about board games, tabletop RPGs (live-action ones too), video games, and more. In recent years, he has poured this passion into the Kraken APS association, with which he plays and helps others discover the joy of gaming at events and conventions all over Italy. Introduced to RPGs through Dungeons & Dragons, he now dives deep into the world of indie and game design in search of new hidden gems to broaden his horizons and quench his insatiable thirst for knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2023 – present<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Known as \u201cMother of Dragons,\u201d Laura has been active online since 2016, when she began sharing her thoughts on George R. R. Martin\u2019s A Song of Ice and Fire<\/em> on YouTube. She hasn\u2019t stopped since. A die-hard fantasy fan and lover of the smell of freshly printed books, she\u2019s a YouTuber, Twitch streamer, cosplayer, and compulsive reader. And yes, she also loves role-playing games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Marzia Possenti<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 – present<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Marzia has been helping organize gaming events for more than 15 years. Along with Lorenzo Trenti and Marcello Missiroli, she co-founded Flying Circus, a movement devoted to spreading game culture focused on role-play and storytelling, experimentation, fun, and shared experiences. For the past 20 years, she has written about tabletop RPGs, live-action games, and story games, both solo and collaboratively. Some of her works have won prizes, such as the Labirinth and La Maschera e il Volto awards. She lives in a house full of books and games, shared with a husband, a dog, a cat, and a turtle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Alessia Zannoni<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 – present<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A theatre and game practitioner, Alessia took her first (very slow) steps into the world of role-playing games in 2014. Since then, she has woven RPGs into her work, bringing them into theatres, schools, and even to Japan as a tool for cultural exploration while traveling. Her love for conversations and co-creating worlds and stories led her to launch the podcast Gusci di Ruolo<\/em>, where collective narratives come to life. At conventions, she\u2019s easy to find: just look for the table covered in rulebooks, turtles, and books about Japan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
