Visual Strategist, Researcher, Entrepreneur

Ludovica Giacomini Corponi operates at the intersection of visual strategy, scientific research and emerging technologies. She is co-founder and CMO of Onymous Studios, the multimedia production studio she built with Youssef DaLima, and founder and CEO of Siderius S.r.l. Società Benefit, an innovative startup incubated by T2I — Trasferimento Tecnologico e Innovazione.

Her work bridges two worlds: the craft of cinema and immersive media at Onymous, and the science of sensory perception and brand architecture at Siderius, where she developed Synesthetic Design, a proprietary methodology that integrates neuroscience, behavioral science, AI and brand heritage analysis to map the sensory architecture of a brand and build deep perceptual coherence across every touchpoint.

In 2025, she was selected as one of eight Opinion Readers by Il Sole 24 Ore, Italy's leading financial newspaper, to represent the readers' voice at the celebrations for the paper's 160th anniversary, held at the Festival dell'Economia in Trento with a concert by maestro Uto Ughi.


Academic Background

Ludovica holds a degree in Visual Arts and Design and a Master's degree in Digital Communication & Public Opinion from the University of Milan, where she graduated cum laude (110/110) in 2022 with a thesis on advanced humanity and prosthetic technology "How embedded systems and prosthetic technology affect identity and the perception of the self" supervised by professors Alessandro Gandini and Federico Boni.

She completed the full program of a Level I Master in Data Science and went on to earn a Level II specialization at La Sapienza University in Rome in Social Research Methodology.

In 2025, she attended an Executive Program for CXOs at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, strengthening the strategic and organizational dimensions of her work at the intersection of research, innovation and creative leadership.


Research & Publications

Her research focuses on embodiment, identity, aesthetics and agency in technologically mediated environments, articulated through both theoretical and practice-based outputs.

In 2025, she published the peer-reviewed article "From the Body to the Self: Identity, Aesthetics, and Agency in the Age of Human Augmentation" in IO01 Umanesimo Tecnologico (No. 6, 2025, Edizioni Studium) a peer-reviewed journal published by the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brescia SantaGiulia and accredited by ANVUR (Italy's National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research) in Area 10: Humanities, Philology, Literature and Art History.

The article examines how prostheses, embedded devices and cognitive technologies are evolving from tools of repair into constitutive elements of personal identity and aesthetic expression — through cases including Paralympic athlete Alessandro Colombo's elective amputation and Sophie de Oliveira Barata's Alternative Limb Project.

She is also co-founder and researcher of the Helium collective, where she develops installation-based and experiential works spanning medical, performative and environmental contexts. Her practice positions artistic production as a method of inquiry, proposing immersive environments as critical spaces where human perception, technology and social structures can be observed, tested and reimagined.


Siderius & Synesthetic Design

Siderius S.r.l. Società Benefit is the company through which Ludovica develops her proprietary approach to brand perception. Incubated by T2I, Siderius focuses on Synesthetic Design — a methodology that maps the sensory architecture of a brand using a proprietary three-phase process grounded in cognitive sciences, AI strategy and data-driven analysis.

The premise: over 85% of purchase decisions happen below the threshold of rational thought. Messaging frameworks and visual identity systems are necessary but not sufficient. What determines preference, loyalty and advocacy is the quality of the experience built around the product across every sensory touchpoint: space, sound, light, material, scent.

Synesthetic Design builds that coherence systematically, so that every stimulus reinforces the others and the brand becomes something the brain doesn't just recognize, but remembers.


AI Strategy Lab

In May 2026, Ludovica co-facilitated the AI Strategy Lab, a two-day intensive workshop hosted at Distilleria Zanin 1895 in Zugliano, designed for executives and decision-makers navigating the integration of AI into business strategy. The workshop, co-facilitated with Othman Tabassi, combined strategic frameworks with hands-on generative AI sessions, bridging the gap between boardroom vision and operational implementation.


Training & Education

Since 2020, Ludovica has been actively engaged in training and education for companies and schools, collaborating with organizations such as Techstation Padova and Umana Forma. She is listed as a professional innovation trainer with APAFORM (Associazione Professionale ASFOR dei Formatori di Management).

She has conducted training and consulting across a wide range of sectors and companies, including:

Afinox, Alias Design, AmorimCork, ATAP, CAMEC, COGES, DalBello, Dekographics, ETRA, FaitalPRO, Geovest, Gortani, Husqvarna, InfoGestWeb, Kask, KEMIN, Macron, Magicoral – Maliparmi, Missoni, Pasuto, Poppi Forgini Group, Sarno, SYES, Treesse, Vivienne Westwood, Zanin 1895.

She also delivers hands-on workshops for young people, from middle to high school, covering photography, cinema, illustration, augmented reality, videomapping and storytelling.


Early Career: Theatre & Performing Arts

Ludovica began her career in 2016 with Marina Bassani at Teatro Selig, and continued to deepen her expertise in visual storytelling and performing arts while working with Fondazione Teatro Piemonte Europa – Teatro Astra, managing logistics and organization for major events such as the Teatro a Corte Festival in Turin and Venaria Reale.

She contributed to digital communication and audience experience at Teatro Astra, followed by collaborations with Teatro Stabile di Verona (2018) and Fondazione Luzzati – Teatro della Tosse in Genoa (2019–2020), where she focused on targeted communication strategies and audience engagement, especially among younger demographics.

Her commitment to scientific rigour dates back to her early career as a volunteer and graphic designer at CICAP (Comitato Italiano per il Controllo delle Affermazioni sulle Pseudoscienze), Italy's leading committee for the investigation of pseudoscience claims.


The Beginning of Onymous

She met Youssef DaLima while working on Affectus Animi, a theatrical and experiential project exploring the relationship between machines and artificial emotions, developed in collaboration with MUSME – Museum of Medicine in Padua and TPR – Teatro Popolare di Ricerca. This encounter marked the beginning of a creative partnership that would lead to the founding of Onymous Studios, where she serves as co-founder and CMO.

Today, she creates solutions at the intersection of visual strategy, emerging technologies and scientific research for institutions, companies and professionals who need their story told with the precision of data and the power of cinema.
