Francesco Cucari - Basilicata Region

This twenty-two-year-old engineering student
invented the “Dictionary of Waste”, an app that
helps citizens make separate collection as simple
and effective as possible. The idea came to him
when he was only eighteen years old, a simple
device to meet a personal need, and now he
runs a successful start-up. The app was used half
a million times in 2014, and is available in over
seventy Italian municipalities, including Rome.
