An independent forum for European geopolitical dialogue
A place to read Europe
Club Farnese is the forum for geopolitical dialogue founded by Antonino Fischetti, with a symbolic and operational base between Rome, Turin and Paris.
Rome represents the institutional, historical and diplomatic dimension. Turin represents industrial culture, technological transformation and the trajectory towards the Space Economy. Paris represents geopolitical dialogue, strategic culture and European projection.
Together, these three cities define a cultural and human geography: not merely a link between capitals, but a space of orientation for understanding the future of Europe.
Dialogue among European family businesses
Club Farnese promotes dialogue among European family businesses, recognising their role in economic continuity, the transmission of knowledge and the protection of human labour.
The family business is not only an ownership structure. It is a place where responsibility, memory, risk, education and future meet.
Protecting family businesses means protecting families, communities and the dignity of people who, through work, build value and continuity.
This vision connects to the protection of the human person and the centrality of the person recalled by Pope Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas: 'Each generation inherits the task of shaping its own era, of guiding history to become a place where the dignity of every person is safeguarded, justice is promoted and fraternity is made possible.'
Treaties of Rome and Quirinal Treaty
The Club looks at the 70th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome in March 2027 as a moment of memory and relaunch of the European vision.
The Quirinal Treaty provides a contemporary framework for reading the relationship between Rome and Paris as part of a broader European responsibility.
Club Farnese presents these references as historical and political foundations of the dialogue, not as mere commemorative celebration.
Ecosystem
Club Farnese is part of the ecosystem of Energy Circle sh.p.k., a strategic consulting company founded in Tirana in 2018. In the same ecosystem, EDP — Energy & Diplomacy for Peace — reads the global geopolitical context from Brussels, while The Pine develops the method for oriented growth of family businesses. Club Farnese brings these perspectives into dialogue with academics, diplomats, businesses and entrepreneurial families.
