I’m truly honored to share that I’ve been ranked as the #1 student for the "Francesco Canella - Italian Food and Wine" prize! Francesco Canella was a true pioneer. He dedicated his life to the valorization of Italian products, proving that a successful business can be built on quality, family values, together with social and environmental responsibility. For him, "Alì migliora la vita" was a promise that he kept. My research focuses on the same ideas. For my thesis, I am investigating how to upcycle winemaking by-products, like grape skins, to extract phenolic compounds for human health. I want to use science to ensure that the best of Italian agriculture is never wasted and can help people stay healthy. I would like to thank the Canella family, the Alì - Francesco Canella Foundation, DAFNAE - Dip. di Agronomia, Animali, Alimenti, Risorse naturali e Ambiente - UniPD , and Alì S.p.a. for this award. I am looking forward to the next steps in my academic journey and contributing further to this field. Università degli Studi di Padova
