Dedication
“Machines take me by surprise with great frequency.”
(Alan Mathison Turing)
I would like to dedicate this work: To Paola, the love of my life, my hero, my strength. You are what I live for. To my wonderful mom and dad. You have always supported me. You gave me everything. You taught me the value of work and commitment. You gifted me with your love. You are always in my heart and thoughts. To my fantastic sisters, who have always been an example. You believed in me and blessed me with your love, joy, and laughs. To my grandma, you will always have a special place in my heart. You are an incredible inspiration. I miss you. To Jonas, who has taught me the passion for knowledge, exploration, and science. To Emil and Emma, I wish you all the best. I am proud of you. I will never say thanks enough. I love you all. Thanks to Marco, Gianluigi, and Luca, I am really proud and honored to have worked and researched with you. I am so proud of what we have achieved in these years. Finally, thanks to all my colleagues, old and new, who contributed to make this book happen in one way or another.
