    Francesco Paolo Conteduca
    XVI MEF

    I am an economist at the Bank of Italy. My personal experience in the MEF XVI Edition was really positive. I had the opportunity to face increasing challenges day by day and to acquire a set of theoretical and technical skills, constituting a fundamental ingredient in my store of knowledge. But MEF is not all about studying and taking exams, it gaves me the chance to make friends in a multicultural envronment with people sharing my same interests."
