As co-Founder and Executive Vice President of the largest group of international schools in Rome – Rome International Schools and Southlands International School – now part of Globeducate (Nace Schools), Daniele developed a deep experience in managing international schools. He now leads the Ingenium Education Group.
The name Ingenium comes from Ancient Rome, where the first education system was developed. In Roman education, progression depended more on ability than age with great emphasis being placed upon a student’s ingenium or inborn “gift” for learning, and a more tacit emphasis on a student’s ability to afford high-level education. Sallust asserted that Virtus did not rightfully belong to the nobilitas as a result of their family background but specifically to the novus homo through the exercise of ingenium (talent, sharpness of mind, sagacity, foresight and character).
