Exhibitors 2024



Elettronici Entusiasti

Elettronici Entusiasti


What is the project about?
The "dissemination" of the technical subjects that Makers practice: electronics, IT, mechanics in different forms, transmitting enthusiasm by showing some first-hand experiences, which can go from the analysis of a product to its repair or modification or invention of wholeheartedly, combining basic concepts learned at school



Where did you get the idea?
It arises from the many requests we receive for live meetings to be able to discuss technical topics, touch our creations first-hand and also be able to provide useful technical pills for digital design, repair and creation. We would like to create a meeting place between enthusiasts and develop the community within MF



How did you transform the idea into a real project?
During YouTube videos we show complex projects, which are divided into several episodes and MF is an excellent opportunity to see them work live. Some examples: laboratory instruments in assembly kits, Back to the Future time machine, magic cube, clean room, electric bike, Arduino World

Pier Aisa
My name is Pier Aisa, I am an electronic engineer born in 1973 and I have always been passionate about electronics in all its forms. Since I was a child, I have loved these disciplines and have always studied these subjects with great passion and dedication, accompanied by the legendary magazines, such as Nuova Elettronica, and from these I learned the pioneering spirit of experimentation on all technologies.I believe I have received a lot and therefore I have decided to proliferate an "Electronic Enthusiasm" among enthusiasts, dedicating myself to scientific and technical dissemination, with a free heart, without limits and with an open mind, in order to support those who want to approach this world and animate a community, the "Electronic Enthusiasts", who share the same passions as me. I particularly care about young people, who have to decide what type of profession to undertake and I like to think that perhaps I can help their professional choice, making them understand the enormous potential they have, without knowing it. For this purpose I also make electronic circuits available in assembly kits, just like the legendary magazines did (www.pieraisa.it/kit). I currently hold the role of Design Authority at a multinational company that operates in railway signaling and for over 30 years I have been involved in technical challenges and electronic engineering problems and I have decided to share the design and problem solving techniques through a dedicated Youtube channel. to electronics. Even the less young people who after years decide to get back into the game with electronics are welcome on my Youtube channel, to participate in the technical discussion, which I also try to animate through my forum (www.pieraisa.it/forum). I publish technical articles, posts and videos, which concern the different branches of electronics in the format of tutorials, repairs, product and instrumentation reviews and experiments also in high voltage, a great passion of mine.


Paolo Aliverti
My name is Paolo Aliverti and I bought my first soldering iron at the age of 10, in 1983.
Since then I have always been passionate about electronics and computers. I started with a ZX Spectrum 48K and worked my way up to Arduino and Raspberry PI. In 2011 I founded FrankensteinGarage (now bankrupt) and FabLab Milano. Since then I have also been involved in 3D printing, CNC, 3D modeling and digital fabrication. I teach Digital Fabrication at the Cova school in Milan and manage an industrial electronic repair laboratory (www.reelco.it). I created a YouTube channel to explain in simple words the technologies I have learned over the years. In my videos I try to explain theoretical topics and propose practical examples, within everyone's reach. The videos are organized into playlists, depending on the various topics. In recent years I have written various books on these topics. Many of my books are free and you can find them on http://www.zeppelinmaker.it.


Greta Galli
Passionate about technology, she shares her passions and tries to explain anything tech in a simple way to her followers
Its goal is to provide free, quality information with a bit of fun
Survival Hacking (Davide Gatti)
Without wanting to teach anyone anything, I try to convey my passion for electronics and more, in a simple and fun way and above all for all budgets.
Each project I create is accompanied by all the necessary documentation to be freely replicated, using normal components available on the market, at low cost.
In addition to projects and tutorials, I try to show electronics from the inside, discovering often unexpected worlds. I do repairs and enjoy showing off the products I purchase to cultivate my passions. In short, it covers a bit of a 360° spectrum in the field of making, with many electronic facets.


Emanuele Frisoni
I'll tell you a short story about myself: I was born in 1977, already in kindergarten, when they asked me "what did I want to do when I grew up?" I replied that I wanted to create ROBOTS! At the age of 6, his first computer (TI-99/4A by Texas Instruments) entered his home. I basically learn to talk to computers first than to humans. Our father gave us a very strict rule: «we play for a maximum of 30 minutes a day! If you want to stay more than half an hour you have to spend the time understanding how it works and learning to program it!» I still remember my first program: it was an animation made by transforming the characters of the alphabet into graphic signs, through a technique called "character redefinition" provided by the TI-99/4A firmware, the only way at the time to create graphics on the computer!
Since that day I have never stopped and I wanted to learn everything about electronics, information technology and robotics, both self-taught and at school and university. For over twenty years I worked as an innovative designer in a company for which I designed and developed several patents!
Today I am pouring all my experience into my YouTube channel and I have also opened a robotics school where I have already recorded over 200 hours of interactive workshops on every topic in the field of mechatronics. I can certainly say that the robotics school is the project I'm most proud of!
Upon reaching a thousand subscribers on the YouTube channel, I started a project entirely performed in live streaming called #progetto1000, which consists in the creation of a robot to solve the Rubik's cube, which however is not yet completed...
we can see that at an upcoming Maker Faire!


Alessandro Torrisi

I am Alessandro Torrisi, my motto is the passion for electronics and the sign that distinguishes me is the white laboratory coat that I use in my videos. Studies in electronic engineering and the desire to create using recycled and recovered materials are always part of my projects! I try to tell it all on my YouTube channel AT Lab. The passion comes from the first photocopier dismantled by an uncle when he was still very young. From curiosity about the operating principles of those small motors and circuits that transformed a sheet of paper into a document to be read, I came to study electronic engineering. Concluded with obtaining first the title of electronic engineer and then a research doctorate. I am currently employed as a professor at the Free University of Bolzano where I share my knowledge in the subject of my studies with students. The curiosity underlying my activity has always remained the same, that of a young boy who learns from the things he sees and recreates. Coming from far away Trento by train I will bring with me to Maker Faire Rome 2024 some projects that I have developed and which can be found in several video tutorials on my YouTube channel. In particular, there will be a self-built electric scooter with recycled parts, driven by a washing machine motor and operated with an electronic circuit designed specifically. A second project will be a working miniature hydroelectric power plant with a Pelton turbine.
Possible performance with Tesla coil, not only a great historical invention but also a scenic object complete with high voltage lightning and sounds to the rhythm of music. High voltage has always been an element of great fascination for me!


Niki Luciano
My passion for electronics began as a child, when I spent my days in my father's laboratory, messing around with old CRTs and tubes. That was the beginning of a love that would shape my life. In 2008 I turned that passion into reality by founding my first company, Slow Hand Custom, specializing in the production of audio equipment used on the stages of world-famous artists. It was a dream come true.
Then came the pandemic. It changed everything, forcing me to close the company. But that was not the end of my journey, but the beginning of a new adventure. I opened a channel to share my love for electronics with people of all ages, like me, fascinated by this world.
I don't limit myself to transmitting notions: I share the experiences of a life made up of falls and rises, successes and challenges. I'm talking about fault diagnosis, advanced soldering and desoldering techniques, components and repairs, with an eye always focused on practical applications and the most cutting-edge electronics.
For me it's not just making videos. It's a mission. I want to inspire anyone who has the same curiosity and desire to learn as me, because I know that, like me, electronics can change the way we see the world.
