Twenty-five years after his death, on March 15, 2001, Venice remembers Angelo Dalle Molle and his visionary ability to read the future. Angelo Dalle Molle, best known for creating Cynar, predicted many of the third millennium's innovations, including artificial intelligence, electric mobility, car sharing, and the universal translator. He co-founded a profitable corporation with his brothers Amedeo and Mario, and in the late 1960s, he made the bold decision to devote himself to the creation of artificial intelligence (AI). In 1971, he founded the "Dalle Molle Foundation for Quality of Life" in Lugano (where it still stands today, at Via Ginevra 5), and in 1988, the IDSIA (Dalle Molle Institute for Studies on Artificial Intelligence). He was able to propose true economic, scientific, technological, and cultural revolutions well before many others, which continue to profoundly mark the times we live in, even if everyone will remember him for inventing the bitter Cynar, a popular antidote "against the wear and tear of modern life".
