Leonardo Bartoli
Chair
Leonardo is an Italian student, currently enrolled in the Bsc International politics and Government from Bocconi University, Milan. He had the idea to create a network of political science students after the experience of managing a student association in his university. From that adventure he realized that youngsters, though having lots to say on political matters, felt voiceless due to the lack of the right platform from where to speak. IAPSS Italy wants to be that platform, and help alleviate the crisis of representative democracy, unfolding before our eyes.

Roberto is a Political Science student from Naples, Italy. He is currently studying International Politics and Government at Bocconi University, Milan.
He is interested in International Relations, Strategies of influence and Leadership.
