After the introductory report by Prof. Fabio Ferraro, director of the advanced course, Prof. Roberto Mastroianni, judge at the Court of the European Union, who will chair the meeting, will speak.

Prof. Fabio Ferraro stated: "The conference will not only focus on the issues raised by the well-known Ferragni case, concerning the correctness, completeness, and impartiality of information, but also on the application of competition rules to digital platforms, which has led to the adoption of the Digital Markets Act as an ex ante regulatory tool for this market".
