Adelphi Council

Independent think tank on political, economic and geopolitical scenarios.

Adelphi Council is an independent think tank, founded by Carlo Alderighi and directed by Massimiliano Gattoni, that analyses the current political and economic situation and its likely developments. It brings together people who wish to deepen their understanding of the forces reshaping the international landscape.

A reserved setting for strategic dialogue

Through monthly closed-door meetings, the Council fosters interdisciplinary dialogue, independent analysis and high-profile relations.

In a context marked by systemic instability, the redefinition of power balances and growing international complexity, the availability of reliable spaces for strategic exchange represents an increasingly pressing need.

Adelphi Council was established to provide a selective and reserved environment in which individuals of experience, responsibility and vision can engage seriously with the principal issues shaping the present and future of the global order.
