In this extraordinary episode of CRAVE, we are honored to welcome physicist and engineer Federico Faggin—the legendary inventor of the microprocessor and touchscreen—for a powerful conversation that bridges technology, consciousness, and spirituality.

Hosted by Samantha Ferro, the episode opens with a special tribute and video message from Iacopo Gori, our Milan correspondent from Corriere della Sera.

Together, we explore key themes from Faggin’s book Oltre l’invisibile, including:
✨ His personal spiritual awakening
🧠 The nature of consciousness beyond the brain
🔬 Why science must embrace spirituality
🤖 Why AI can never replace human consciousness
🧍 The concept of “Seità” — the essence of being
💗 And the transformative force of love

Also in this episode:
🇮🇹 L’Angolo della Lingua Italiana with Vania
🏈 49ers Update with Alex Lopez — Alex recaps major takeaways from the NFL’s Annual League Meeting, including updates from Shanahan, Lynch, and York, rule changes for the 2025 NFL Season, and much more!

🎧 Tune in for a conversation that just might change how you see life, science, and the self.
