**✨ Migrating Legacy Languages to Python & MCP: Principles & Practice ✨** Ready to bridge the gap between decades-old legacy systems and the cutting-edge future of AI? Join us at Talent Garden Calabiana for a deep-dive technical night, co-hosted by Scops.ai and **TAG**. We'll tackle two major frontiers in modern engineering: the complex realities of rescuing business logic from legacy code to modern Python, and the hands-on mechanics of Model Context Protocol (MCP). Whether you're modernizing the past or building the future, this meetup is for you. **Agenda** * **18:30** Doors Open * **19:00** Introduction * **19:10** Talk: Migrating from legacy languages to Python with Federico Tomassetti * **19:50** Talk: Model Context Protocol: Principles and Practice with Luca Baggi * After the meetup we will organize a dinner close to the venue, anybody who wants to join is welcome! **Venue**: Talent Garden, Via Arcivescovo Calabiana 6 (M3 Lodi or Brenta) The event will be **recorded and streamed** on Python Milano Youtube channel (links will appear [here](https://www.youtube.com/@pythonmilano/streams) close to the event) **Migrating from legacy languages to Python** Python today has a vast ecosystem and an active community which makes it a great choice for many organizations. However, many companies still rely on critical software written decades ago in languages such as RPG, Visual Basic 6, or SAS. While these systems continue to work, they increasingly limit maintainability, hiring, integration, and long-term evolution. In this talk we want to discuss how the systems can be automatically migrated to Python. We will discuss the real technical and organizational challenges involved: understanding legacy semantics, preserving business logic, validating behavior, and managing incremental migration. The goal is to provide a clear overview of the techniques, trade-offs, and feasibility boundaries involved in translating legacy codebases into modern Python systems. The attendees will get a realistic understanding of what is possible today, when Python is a good target, and how to reason about migration projects without underestimating their complexity. **Federico Tomassetti, Language Engineering Architect @ Strumenta** Federico Tomassetti is the founder of Strumenta, a company specialized in Language Engineering. At Strumenta he builds Domain Specific Languages, editors, parsers, compilers, and interpreters. In other words languages and tooling to help professionals to work betterm. After getting his PhD he has worked in Italy, Germany, Ireland, and France. He worked for small companies and large ones like TripAdvisor and Groupon. **Model Context Protocol: Principles and Practice** Large‑language‑model agents are only as useful as the context and tools they can reach. Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) proposes a universal, bidirectional interface that turns every external system—SQL databases, Slack, Git, web browsers, even your local file‑system—into first‑class “context providers.” In just 30 minutes we’ll step from high‑level buzzwords to hands‑on engineering details: How MCP’s JSON‑RPC message format, streaming channels, and version‑negotiation work under the hood. Why per‑tool sandboxing via isolated client processes hardens security (and what happens when an LLM tries rm ‑rf /). Techniques for hierarchical context retrieval that stretch a model’s effective window beyond token limits. Real‑world patterns for accessing multiple tools—Postgres, Slack, GitHub—and plugging MCP into GenAI applications. Expect code snippets and lessons from early adoption. You’ll leave ready to wire your own services into any MCP‑aware model and level‑up your GenAI applications—without the N×M integration nightmare. **Luca Baggi, AI Engineer @ xtream** Luca is an AI Engineer in xtream (now part of TeamSystem). He is a active member to the Python and PyData communities in Europe, and an open source contributor. ✋ **Please use your real Name and Surname to register, we cannot assure you will be able to access the venue if not.** \*\* If you have a last minute issue please remember to cancel the RSVP.\*\* \*\* Thanks for your cooperation\*\*

Il BookClub **The Reading Riot** si ritrova per parlare di *Il Signore delle Mosche* di **William Golding**, **Premio Nobel per la Letteratura**. Il romanzo racconta la storia di un gruppo di ragazzi rimasti isolati su un’isola deserta dopo un incidente aereo. Senza regole né adulti, il tentativo di autogestione lascia presto spazio a dinamiche di potere, paura e violenza, mettendo in discussione l’idea stessa di civiltà. Un classico che interroga ancora oggi sul rapporto tra individuo e gruppo, autorità, responsabilità e natura umana. L’incontro del BookClub è informale e basato sul **dibattito sui temi principali del libro**, partendo dalle impressioni personali di chi partecipa. Sarà una conversazione aperta, in cui ognuno potrà intervenire con il proprio punto di vista, in un clima intimo e rilassato. **Quando e dove** **Mercoledì 4 marzo** **Ore 19:00** **Viale Misurata 9, Milano** E' richiesta consumazione obbligatoria nel locale (no minimo di spesa). **Posti limitati** Per mantenere il gruppo piccolo e favorire lo scambio, i posti sono **limitati.** Una volta raggiunto il limite, verrà attivata una **lista d’attesa**. ⏳ **Importante** Se dopo l’iscrizione non riesci più a partecipare, ti chiediamo di cancellare la prenotazione entro il giorno prima, così da lasciare spazio a chi è in attesa. Porta il libro, il tuo entusiasmo e le tue impressioni — non vediamo l’ora di iniziare! Contatti IG: @thereadingriot_

Milan is older than it looks. On Saturday, 7 March, we walk again. Not to see the city, but to see what lies beneath it. Starting from Piazza del Duomo, this 2-hour narrated walk traces the hidden presence of Roman Milan. The exact route won’t be revealed in advance, because discovery works best when it unfolds step by step. This isn’t a tour. It’s not a lecture. It’s a shared exploration. Led by a scholar, the walk moves at a human pace, weaving stories, fragments, and forgotten layers into the present city. It’s for those who are curious, who enjoy slow conversations, and who want to experience Milan differently, beyond monuments and postcards. ✅ **Mandatory:** To join, you must **subscribe via the Google Form AND** **join the Telegram group**. Only participants who complete both will be admitted. The Roman Empire didn’t vanish. It settled into the foundations. And it’s still there. 📍 Start: Piazza del Duomo, in front of **McDonald’s,** Milan 🗓 Saturday, 7 March 🍹 Optional aperitivo 📋 **Register [here](https://forms.gle/H4UQPNNxqJdxNnug6)** 👉 **Join the [Telegram group](https://t.me/+MM8zx1Z06YEwZjhk)**

We will be doing homemade runes with clay. It can take a bit of processing. To let them dry and paint. But I hope every one enjoys them. ^^ ## Rune Making Class **Carve Meaning. Shape Intention. Create Something That Lasts.** Runes are more than symbols. They are an ancient alphabet rooted in early Germanic and Norse traditions, historically used for writing, protection, divination, and marking objects with intention. Each rune carries layered meaning. Strength. Protection. Prosperity. Movement. Transformation. In this Rune Making Class, you will create your own handcrafted rune set while learning what each symbol represents and how it has been used across history. ### What Runes Are Used For Runes have traditionally been used for: • Divination and guidance • Protection markings on tools, weapons, and homes • Meditation and self reflection • Setting intention and personal focus • Symbolic storytelling Whether you approach them from a historical, spiritual, or symbolic perspective, runes are tools for reflection and intention. *** ## Who This Is For This class is for: • Fantasy and history enthusiasts • Writers and world builders • Spiritual practitioners • Makers who enjoy hands on craft • Anyone drawn to ancient symbolism No prior experience is required. *** Runes were once carved into clay, wood, bone, and stone to carry intention into the world. Now you will make your own with clay. Seats are limited. Reserve your place and create something timeless.

**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
