Notes on Elio D’Anna

eliodanna_image_website_2020_cut

Elio D’Anna, best-selling author, philosopher, economist, and entrepreneur, poet and musician, is  Founder and President of the European School of Economics which today has six centers in the world including London, New York, Madrid, Rome, Florence and Milan.  The project’s deep roots first gave fruit in 1994 when he initiated the ‘Scuola di Liberismo’ in Rome, an organization aimed at uniting politicians and prominent dignitaries.  Elio has welcomed Nobel Prize winners, dignitaries, organizations and businessmen of the highest level including Kenneth Galbraith, John Nash, Merton Miller, Harry Markovitz, Betty White, Mikhail Gorbachev, Donald Trump, Gordon Bethune, C.O. of Contintental Airlines, Doctors without Borders, the Hiltons and most recently the late Sir James Alexander Mirrlees, Scottish economist, awarded the Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences.
In 2000, Elio D’Anna joined ESE to the Founding Members of the Carlo Felice Theatre in Genova, one of the greatest international touchstones of opera music, for the organization of a concert in memory of Fabrizio de André. This was just one of many steps in ESE’s vast project to bring its most passionate students directly in contact with industry leaders across disciplines – from entertainment and music, to fashion, film, finance and more.

Pioneer in the world of music and visionary entrepreneur, he has founded leading enterprises in sectors that range from education to hospitality, from entertainment to technology.

D’Anna’s first commercial enterprise is a Luxury Hotel and Restaurant- Il Bottaccio Group, a global hospitality group established 40 years ago, when Mr. D’Anna purchased an ancient 17th century water mill, nestled at the foot of the lush green slopes of Forte dei Marmi, in Tuscany and converted into the most exclusive 5 star luxury Relais & Châteaux

Books

Elio D’Anna is best-selling author of the literary works:"The School for Gods" and "The Technology of the Dreamer".

The School for Gods

The School for Gods’ ́ is a document of historic importance not only because it tells the story of the creation of a new and revolutionary school, the European School of Economics, but because it is a manifest announcing “the Individual Revolution”, the birth of the vertical man, the cells of a new humanity finally healed from pain, fear and conflictual thinking. The original manuscript has already been translated into English, Italian, Turkish, Greek, German, Romanian, Russian Spanish and French. The Chinese versions (complex and simplified characters) for mainland China and Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao was released in December 2010.

The Technology of the Dreamer

The second book, ‘The Technology of the Dreamer’ brings to the reader a very powerful technology, the first true revolution since Copernicus and Galileo: “The world is your creature that you create in this very instant, in the absence of time.” “This principle alone, if applied, is able to end all misery and suffering. This book is for those who are disappointed with their ordinary life and are looking for something they have lost and forgotten for so long… something special.

“The Technology of the Dreamer”, has been released in England, Turkey, Greece and Romania.

Articles, seminaries and other

From early 2000 his articles have been published in “L’Opinione delle libertà”. His essays analyze the phenomena of contemporary culture, proposing a new vision of the economy and tracing the new frontiers of education for the new generations.

Among the articles published:

 

L’Economia è l’arte del sognare,  

La European School of Economics riceve giustizia, 

Credere per vedere, l’individuo, 

La vittima è sempre colpevole, 

Il Sogno è la cosa più reale che ci sia, 

Fai solo ciò che ami, 

Di padre in figlio,

Pinocchio,

L’Italia, una repubblica fondata sul lavoro

The Music of life

Divorati dal tempo

Elio welcomes discussion of his ideas and principles, and in addition to his meetings with students at the European School of Economics, travels all over the world for seminars and conferences to address aspiring young professionals, established businessmen, and visionary individuals seeking to enrich their lives, through self-knowledge and self-mastery.

In these conferences, he discusses the “invisible” relationship between the state of health and the integrity of the company, and the physical condition and integrity of the founder. To be more specific: the longevity of a company derives from the integrity of its leader.

The principles and ideas of which Elio speaks are the result of long years of self-study and inner questioning. Their ultimate goal being to incite the inner transformation of man as an individual and consequently, a timeless movement that no other revolution has ever been able to accomplish: the total elimination of war, poverty, disease and death.

Elio is a brilliant speaker who expresses his educational philosophy in a unique way. His words encourage the listener to maintain a proactive attitude and to constantly strive for integrity and unity of being. The words Elio says during in his meetings with world authorities, Nobel Prize winners, politicians, economists, professors and students at forums and universities are notes played on a magic flute. Dreamers from all over the world listen to these words and hold them close like a guide book to a great destination.

‘‘The hobby of humanity in the future will be personal improvement, Universities and Schools will multiply to educate man, especially in economics and business, and everything from the pureness of the soul and of the body, kindness, justice, loyalty, forgiveness and gratitude. The values that have been neglected and must be nourished in this direction: values such as courage, sincerity, truth. Believing in ourselves, in our capabilities and developing them in order to improve ourselves. Our system of values coincides with our economic destiny. This is true for an individual, for an organization, for a country, for a civilization. The richer our system of values, the richer our economy will be. This equation tells us that we can have only the riches that our values allow us to have. 

One day all organizations, from the smallest businesses to the huge multinationals will have at their helm a philosopher of action, a pragmatic dreamer, a luminous visionary who has taken care of his own integrity, who knows how to believe in the impossible and make it concrete.

Until now all economic systems have dealt with survival, with people’s basic needs: food, shelter, clothing and reproduction. The economics of Neanderthals and the economics of a modern complex society are essentially the same.

The new economics of the coming decades deals not anymore with survival or to keep people alive for a few decades, but with immortality. New technologies and resources aim at the indefinite extension of each human life. This is the beginning of a 21st Century Economics of Everlasting Life – an Economics of Timelessness which will proclaim Victory over time and over death.”  (Elio D’Anna)
