Today IDEA, the association that represents the video game industry in Italy, has announced the entry into its structure of Davide Mancini with the role of Developer Relations Manager. Davide will take care of relations and the activity program relating to Italian video game developers. Born in 1985, he discovered video games at the age of 3, with a Commodore 64 and hasn’t stopped talking about them since. After a course of study in communication and anthropology, he followed the path of convergent culture to analyze the contemporary world through different languages. With this same approach, for ten years he has covered the world of video games on the pages of magazines such as The Games Machine, Ultimo Uomo and IGN Italia.
