Migrating Legacy Languages to Python & MCP Principles and Practice
**✨ 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.

BookClub - Il Signore delle Mosche
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!

We'd love for you to join us for our next edition of *Tech Startups in the Pub,* this time in Milan, Italy!
The event is scheduled for **6:30 PM local Italian time**. The platform does not allow us to change the time zone, so we can only create events with the GMT time, thus you will see the invitation for 7:30 PM, but you definitely want to come earlier.
It's a relaxed evening at The O'Connell Irish Pub, and run by Volodymyr. We have been running for 3.5 years in London and we are excited to now run our monthly events in Milan as well, welcoming new folks to the community.
Whether you're a tech founder, an enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or simply curious about the tech scene, you'll fit right in. This isn't about panels or pitching, just good old-fashioned networking with like-minded people over a drink on a Thursday evening.
Important information about the location and time. **It is in the ZTL zone**, so please do not come by car. Please use public transport or walk.
**House Rules:**
* Find Volodymyr to introduce yourself so we can welcome you properly. The pub knows we are coming, so you should be able to find us easily.
* No hard selling or heavy pitching. This is a chill, friendly after-work get-together.

IoT Meetup at Concept Reply (Preparing IoT for the Quantum Era with DigiCert)
**Beer, Pizza and IoT Meetup (DigiCert Special)**
We would like to invite you to our next IoT Meetup at Concept Reply at the Reply offices in Munich.
**Agenda**
19:00 – Securing the future Internet of Things with ML-KEM and ML-DSA (Talks by Kevin Hilscher and Daniel Stroehmann from DigiCert)
20:00 – Pizza & Networking
**Description**
Today’s Internet of Things (IoT) relies on a variety of protocols and communications technologies…CoAP, LwM2M, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Wi-Fi, Thread … many of which are not quantum-safe.
While large-scale quantum computers capable of breaking current encryption aren’t yet available, the concept of “harvest now, decrypt later” is a significant concern. Now that NIST has released final versions of its first three Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards the race is on to make IoT quantum-safe.
**We will explore**
* What it takes to make an IoT solution quantum-safe.
* The algorithms regulators, such as BSI, are recommending.
* How to implement and transmit data between a device and an MQTT broker with TLS 1.3, ML-KEM, and ML-DSA using open-source tools.
Please feel free to forward this invite to anybody who might like to take part.
PLEASE NOTE: This Meetup will get streamed and recorded so you may get filmed by taking part. Doors open at 7PM for this one due to an event before.
This event is exclusively for those with a professional background. Due to limited capacity, we reserve the right to restrict admission.
Pizza, beer and seats first come first serve! :)

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
