Stefania Del Bianco

Science Journalist. A lifelong enthusiast of high-tech and energy innovation, she began working at Rinnovabili during its early development phases, profiling companies in the sector. In 2008, she officially joined the editorial team, covering the evolution of the first incentive systems in Italy and abroad, and interviewing pioneers in the field such as Bertrand Piccard and Michael Grätzel. In 2011, she became Editorial Coordinator. Over the years, she has also overseen Rinnovabili’s communications and press office, regional media reviews, and technical newsletters. Today, she serves as Managing Editor ai Rinnovabili. Her work includes daily coverage of renewable energy legislation, national, European, and Asian energy policies, and key topics related to innovation and market trends. She closely follows patents and scientific research on technologies, with a focus on energy storage, photovoltaics, wind power, and geothermal energy. Her articles on high-tech and renewables have been published on Repubblica.it. Since 2025, she has been Vice Editor in Chief of the newspaper.
