Our Manifesto
Fonderia is the forge.
A living space where builders gather, where heat turns into form.
Where minds collide, melt, and harden into real things: products, code, hardware, systems, everything that hums with tech and purpose.
This is where you show up and build.
Not for status, not for applause, but because you have to.
If it runs, moves, computes, or connects it belongs here.
Hardware or software, it doesn't matter.
What matters is that it's real.
We don't worship ideas, we build them.
Fonderia is the forge of builders.
This is not a community.
It's a covenant.
A pact between builders who refuse to wait for permission.
We are the ones who can't not build.
The ones who ship, who break, who rebuild.
Again and again, until something impossible becomes inevitable.
Italy needs a home for builders.
Talent has always been here, it just never had a place to collide.
We're done waiting for the ecosystem to appear.
We're building it ourselves.
Fonderia is Milan's forge, but its fire is for all of Europe.
A signal to every cracked founder, hacker, and researcher:
Get here. Bring your madness.
Let's make things that matter.
No spectators.
No hierarchy.
No permission.
Just the forge.
The fire.
And the people who build.
