Andrea Bariselli began his career in clinical research, launching his first company after years of studying chronic pain and neurological diseases. At just 25, he became the youngest director of a Clinical Psychology center in Italy, while simultaneously working as a hospital psychologist.
In 2016, Andrea won the prestigious Premio Soldera, an international research award, for his groundbreaking work applying neuroscience to the study of red wine’s effects on the brain and how expert sommeliers form their judgments. Two years later, he expanded his company to the U.S., working in San Francisco. His deep connection to nature, especially the mountains, was showcased in his TEDx talk in Milan in 2018.
In 2021, Andrea founded Strobilo, a company dedicated to reconnecting humanity with its ancient roots through technology, aiming to create a positive impact on the planet. As an ultra-runner and host of the podcast A Wild Mind—which has garnered over 1 million listens—Andrea continues to explore the intersection of neuroscience, nature, and human potential. His first book, published by Rizzoli in spring 2024, further reflects his commitment to environmental and scientific issues.
