Hello PyData People! We are excited to announce our next event of 2026! This time, we will be hosted at Generali Italia’s Torre Generali in Milan for an evening dedicated to open data, data platform orchestration, and scalable data engineering. 📅 When: Thursday, May 19th, 2026 – 18:30–21:00 📍 Where: Torre Generali Italia, Milan ⚠️ Important: Spots are limited. Please keep your RSVP updated to allow others to participate if you can no longer attend. *** **🕒 Agenda** 18:30 – Doors open & check-in 19:00 – Talk 1: Democratizing Data: A deep dive into Eurostat Open Database – Simona Mazzarino 19:45 – Talk 2: Scaling Data Mesh Orchestration with Dagster: Platform-Driven DAGs without Platform Friction – Marco Santoni and Andrea Romeo 20:30 – Networking & Social Dinner *** **🎤 The Talks** **1️⃣ Democratizing Data: A deep dive into Eurostat Open Database** Speaker: Simona Mazzarino (Data Scientist @ Clearbox AI) In this talk, we explore how to turn open data into actionable insights. You will learn how to navigate Eurostat, the EU’s vast statistical database, and use Python tools to fetch and process data for research, AI, and real-world analysis. We will look at how to discover relevant datasets, work with Eurostat’s interface and APIs, and integrate public statistics into your workflows for visualizations, dashboards, and models. A guiding example will be the analysis of migration flows across European countries, from data discovery to a usable dataset for analytics or machine learning. About the Speaker: Simona Mazzarino is a Data Scientist at Clearbox AI. With a background in linguistics, semiotics, and artificial intelligence, she specializes in language technologies. She is an active volunteer in the Python Torino community, where she helps connect people interested in Python applications, and she also volunteers for PyCon Italia. *** **2️⃣ Scaling Data Mesh Orchestration with Dagster: Platform-Driven DAGs without Platform Friction** Speakers: Andrea Romeo, Platform Engineer @ TeamSystem Data Mesh promises scalability and autonomy, but orchestration often becomes the hidden bottleneck: as data products grow, cross-domain dependencies explode, DAGs become fragile, and upstream teams are forced to react to every new consumer. In this talk, we present a platform-designed orchestration solution built on top of Dagster that enables company-wide orchestration without coupling data products together. Instead of requiring data engineers to manually define DAGs or modify upstream pipelines, each data product simply declares its dependencies on upstream output ports. From these declarations, the platform automatically builds and maintains the global DAG behind the scenes, ensuring that upstream data products remain unaffected by new consumers, orchestration scales as the number of data products grows, and platform standards are enforced without slowing down teams. We’ll walk through: * the orchestration challenges we faced when adopting data mesh at scale * how Dagster was extended and shaped into a platform abstraction, not exposed directly to product teams * the Python-based design patterns used to dynamically generate and evolve DAGs * the resulting developer experience for data engineers building data products This session is a practical, production-tested story of how Python and Dagster can be used to enable scalable orchestration in a real data mesh implementation — without turning the platform team into a bottleneck. About the Speakers: Andrea Romeo is a Platform Engineer at TeamSystem, where he focuses on building and evolving the technical foundation behind data infrastructure. He works closely with development and data teams to design scalable, resilient platforms that support data-driven products and services, with a strong focus on backend, cloud technologies, and developer experience. *** See you there!

**Italiano** Già negli anni '80, quando il computer era appena agli albori, Krishnamurti pose una domanda che oggi risuona con urgenza straordinaria: ***"Se la macchina può fare tutto ciò che l'essere umano sa fare, cosa resterà dell'uomo?"*** In questo secondo incontro del gruppo esploreremo il tema dell'**impatto della tecnologia sull'essere umano** attraverso la lente degli insegnamenti di Krishnamurti — ma anche con apertura ad altre voci e prospettive. Krishnamurti non era contro la tecnologia in sé. Vedeva però chiaramente un pericolo sottile: che il cervello umano, abituandosi alla velocità, all'efficienza e alla delega alla macchina, diventasse sempre più meccanico, distratto, ottuso — incapace di quel movimento interiore che solo può portare una vera trasformazione. **Come si svolgerà l'incontro** L'incontro non è una lezione: è una conversazione aperta tra persone che vogliono **indagare insieme**, senza dare per scontata nessuna risposta. Nello spirito di Krishnamurti, non si tratta di "studiare" un pensiero, ma di osservare direttamente — in noi stessi — quanto la tecnologia stia già plasmando il modo in cui pensiamo, sentiamo e ci relazioniamo. **Alcune domande** che potremmo esplorare insieme: * La velocità e la frammentazione digitale stanno rendendo la nostra mente più superficiale? * Stiamo delegando alla macchina non solo il lavoro, ma anche il significato? * È possibile usare la tecnologia senza diventare noi stessi più meccanici? * C'è uno spazio interiore che nessuna macchina può toccare — e lo stiamo coltivando? Nessuna esperienza precedente richiesta. Portate solo la vostra presenza e la disponibilità a guardare senza giudicare e senza motivazioni. **Ingresso libero — posti limitati. Confermate la partecipazione tramite Meetup.** Ci vediamo al Rob De Matt; il locale è a vocazione sociale; la consumazione presso il locale non è obbligatoria ma consigliata in quanto ospita il nostro evento. **English** Already in the 1980s, when computers were just in their infancy, Krishnamurti asked a question that today resonates with extraordinary urgency: ***"If the machine can do everything a human being can do, what will be left of man?"*** In this second meeting of the group, we will explore the theme of **technology's impact on human beings** through the lens of Krishnamurti's teachings — but also with openness to other voices and perspectives. Krishnamurti was not against technology itself. However, he clearly saw a subtle danger: that the human brain, growing accustomed to speed, efficiency, and delegation to the machine, might become increasingly mechanical, distracted, and dull — incapable of that inner movement which alone can bring about true transformation. **How the Meeting Will Unfold** The meeting is not a lecture: it is an open conversation among people who want to enquire together, without taking any answer for granted. In the spirit of Krishnamurti, this is not about "studying" a thought, but about observing directly — within ourselves — how much technology is already shaping the way we think, feel, and relate to one another. **Some questions** we might explore together: * Are speed and digital fragmentation making our minds more superficial? * Are we delegating to the machine not only work, but also meaning? * Is it possible to use technology without becoming more mechanical ourselves? * Is there an inner space that no machine can touch — and are we nurturing it? No prior experience required. Bring only your presence and the willingness to look without judging and without agenda. **Free entry — limited seats. Please confirm your attendance via Meetup.** See you at Rob De Matt; the venue has a social vocation; purchasing something at the venue is not mandatory but encouraged, as it is hosting our event.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
