Raised behind concert stages (and in front of plates of cappelletti—a typical pasta dish from Ferrara), Federico Rasetti is a European-certified Sustainability Manager specializing in social and cultural impact. He is the Director of KeepOn LIVE, Italy’s grassroots live music venue association, and Co-President of Live DMA, Europe’s live music venue network. Federico began his career booking for Italian agencies and founded a label supporting emerging artists.
With two executive master’s degrees in meeting management and sustainability, plus a business development course at Bocconi University, he bridges management expertise with cultural innovation. His experience with both major corporations, like Unipolis Foundation, and smaller organizations gives him a unique perspective on adapting economic systems to the live music sector.
