What Geopolitica.info does

Geopolitica.info (legally Associazione Geopolitica.info, also operating as Centro Studi Geopolitica.info) is an Italian non-profit research association founded in 2004 and headquartered at Via Albalonga 30, Rome, with a reported headcount of 107. The organization functions as a network of international relations experts, foreign policy specialists, and area studies scholars, structured around three core activities: research, public debate, and an online magazine. It produces the Geopolitical Brief report series, peer-reviewed scientific volumes and journal articles, thematic articles across its website, and events including the annual Festival di geopolitica e relazioni internazionali Equilibrium. Research is organized into eight thematic programs covering Sub-Saharan Africa, China/Indo-Pacific, Cyber/Space/Tech, Infrastructure/Transport/Energy, Italy/Europe, Middle East/North Africa, Russia and the Post-Soviet Space, and the USA/Americas.

The business model is that of a non-profit association under Italian law rather than a commercial enterprise. Revenue derives from commissioned research for institutional clients — primarily the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) and the Osservatorio di Politica Internazionale of the Italian Parliament (OPI, partnership since 2021) — supplemented by project collaborations such as the SHIELD initiative with SDA Bocconi School of Management. Distribution is free: reports and publications are downloadable from the website as PDFs, content is amplified via a Mailchimp newsletter and seven social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify), and the underlying technology stack consists of standard web infrastructure including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Google Ad Manager, and reCAPTCHA. No commercial pricing, revenue figure, or funding rounds are disclosed; financial statements (bilancio consuntivo) for 2020 and 2021 are posted on the transparency page.

Geopolitica.info serves a concentrated set of primary stakeholders — Italian public decision-makers, parliamentary researchers, and academic scholars — while maintaining a broader secondary audience of foreign policy observers and the interested public. Leadership is anchored by Scientific Director Gabriele Natalizia (also professor at Sapienza University of Rome and since 2025 Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council's Europe Center) and Research Coordinator Matteo Mazziotti di Celso (PhD in Strategic Studies from the University of Genoa, 2025; Junior Associate Fellow at NATO Defence College; Visiting Research Fellow at the Italian Center for Maritime Military Studies). The organization holds no patents, discloses no AI/ML capabilities, and operates without subsidiaries, parent entities, or external investment.
