the first European festival on creativity

2022 Programme

Event #20

Maurizio Cheli

Travelling above the clouds

The space adventure is apparently distant and extremely specialised, but is actually very close to our everyday reality. With his eyes turned up to the sky, Maurizio Cheli shares with us his experience that took him aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1996: he describes a journey which both changed him and allowed him to learn some important lessons on how to positively face a complex mission, manage difficult situations in often extreme conditions, work in harmony with the crew to achieve goals, and face challenges we all share in our daily orbit.

Maurizio Cheli  is an astronaut, test pilot and entrepreneur. In 1983 he was assigned as an operational pilot on the famous F-104G. In 1996, on board the Space Shuttle Columbia, he took part in the STS-75 Tethered Satellite mission where he was the first Italian to hold the position of Mission Specialist. In the same year he was hired by Alenia Aeronautica and was appointed Chief Test Pilot for defence aircraft. In 2005 he founded CFM Air, a start-up which deals with the design of advanced light aircraft and the following year he founded DigiSky, which develops electronics for sport aircraft. In 2018 he reached the 8848-metre summit of Mount Everest. He wrote Tutto in un istante. Le decisioni che tracciano il viaggio di una vita (Minerva, 2016).
