“Receiving the Alumnus of the Year award from Luiss is a source of great pride and gratitude for me,” said Agostino Scornajenchi.

“This university has been a key milestone in my journey and that of many of my colleagues from my generation. Luiss has instilled in us a methodical approach, values and a sense of responsibility.

“This recognition serves as an incentive to consolidate and give back what we have achieved over the years through study, hard work and passion. I believe, now more than ever, that it is important to keep the link between the University, the younger generations and the world of work alive. And I would like to thank Luiss for making this possible.”
