Book Presentation: Never Give Up by Prof Maurizio Bragagni and Mr Alessandro Vergni

On 29 March 2026, Esharelife Chair Prof Maurizio Bragagni OBE took part in a public presentation at La Feltrinelli Point in Arezzo, Tuscany, moderated by Stefano Parati. The event showcased his latest book, L’amicizia, un segreto da condividere (Never Give Up: Vision, Determination and the Strength of Friendships), co-authored with Mr Alessandro Vergni, who also joined the discussion.

During the event, Maurizio reflected on key moments from his extensive career in business, philanthropy, and international engagement. He shared insights from his journey from provincial Italy to becoming an international entrepreneur, philanthropist, and diplomatic representative, recognized with an OBE for his contributions.

He spoke openly about challenges, including navigating major economic and political changes, as well as opportunities, such as his philanthropic work with the Esharelife Foundation and other initiatives aimed at creating positive impact. Through these experiences, he highlighted how determination, vision, and meaningful relationships can drive tangible results.

The central theme of the presentation resonated strongly with attendees: individual potential is not defined by origin or circumstances. Maurizio emphasized that anyone can make a meaningful difference by embracing three key pillars: a clear and purposeful vision, steadfast perseverance, and the support of enduring friendships. It is the combination of ambition, resilience, and strong connections that empowers individuals to create lasting, positive change in the world.
