Reasoned bibliography

An organic reconstruction of the contemporary transformation of Italian state sovereignty. Four chapters, 114 paragraphs, approximately 64,000 words. Articulates the interpretive category of "hybrid sovereignty" along four dimensions: constitutional-organisational (the architecture of the Executive), economic (Golden Power), international (cyber warfare), repressive-technological (AI for investigations and constitutional guarantees). Published in a private numbered print run as Mirafiore N° I. Excerpts and full table of contents on the Research page.

The foundational text for thinking about comparison between legal systems as an operational instrument, not an academic one. For those who structure operations that live across multiple jurisdictions, the section on the "legal transplant" is mandatory.

A method manual that teaches one to avoid "tourist comparative law". The chapter on "functional vs structural comparisons" changes the way cross-border memos are drafted.

The book that explains why Italian contract law is what it is. For those who structure operations where civilian traditions meet common law structures, indispensable.

Eight CEOs who generated extraordinary returns by rejecting most standard practices. Required reading for those who think of capital allocation as a discipline, not as an accessory.

The book on risk written by someone who actually manages it. The "Second-Level Thinking" chapter formalises the difference between thinking about the market and thinking against the market.

For those who want to understand why firms exist, before dealing with how to structure them. The essay on transaction cost is mandatory.

Technically a book about architecture. Operationally a book about how one thinks any complex system made of composable parts. The "patterns" of Capital Studio TS and Capital Hospitality are born from this reading.

Everything that needs to be known about respect for the viewer. A direct influence on the composition of every document, invoice, registration, dashboard produced by the holding.

Video essays, not books. They explain why the vast majority of contemporary software tools are a regression compared to what was already possible in the 1970s. Influences our resistance to cloud sync and attachment to local-first.

The distinction between "labor", "work" and "action" is the same that implicitly organises our distinction between selling hours (labor), producing artefacts (work), and taking public positions (action).

The essay by the former dean of Yale Law on the disappearance of the "lawyer statesman" as a figure. For those who ask themselves why exercising the legal profession in a classical way is no longer possible today.

Six Norton lectures on teaching as relation. A direct influence on the form of the Magisterium: calibrated on the individual attendee, not on the group.

A history of ancient Greco-Roman education. The model of the "magister" as distinct from the "teacher" of mass modernity.
