Our 2 cents: we didn't attend the Italia Nomad Fest here in Palermo. From the outside it looked vague and the tickets were pricey, and we haven't met a single person here who actually went, so we can't speak to it firsthand.
We did attend Nomadic Sicily though, and small as it was, the community was amazing. The talks were high quality and genuinely inspiring, and the overall vibe is something we've rarely experienced. It was truly amazing and we'll go back, no doubt.
We had our insiders in both... We want to stay positive and forward thinking, but the reality is that in Italy we are a bit stuck in our micro-world (not surprising, unless you think we are nomads and supposed to be open-minded)

Yes, I think there's a lot of work to be done! A lot of people here also still think of Digital Nomads as tourists...
I am afraid Italy is still in another world
