Passionate about electronics, computer science, and music, Gianfranco has built his career through technical education, conservatory studies, and management experience at multinational companies such as Olivetti and Gartner Inc.

Rediscovering the bassoon—and its notoriously complex fingering system—marked a turning point in both his personal and professional life. It sparked a simple yet ambitious idea: using technology to make classical musical instruments more accessible.

A vision that begins with the bassoon, but already looks far beyond it.

Fabio studied biotechnology to pursue pharmaceutical research. His academic journey culminated in a thesis in Paris on nanotechnologies applied to Alzheimer's disease.

After returning to Italy, he shifted his focus to health-related software, mastering several programming languages along the way.

This journey led to the development of the logic behind M.A.W.I.P. technology: software capable of simplifying the most complex fingering systems of wind instruments.

Massimo began his career as an engineer at Olivetti before building a successful path in the telecommunications and internet industries, eventually holding senior executive positions at TIM across Marketing, Strategy, and Finance.

Today, he leverages this experience in the technology sector as an investor, supporting and growing innovative startups—an activity that has been his primary professional focus for more than a decade.

An independent IT strategy advisor, Massimo built extensive experience as an IT industry analyst at Gartner Inc., advising some of the world's leading organizations across banking, insurance, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications, travel and transportation, as well as government agencies.

Earlier in his career, he held several positions within the Olivetti Group, working in marketing, consulting, customer support, and application software development.

A key partner in the implementation of the technological components of our wind instruments.

Four promising students from Politecnico di Milano, enrolled in the Integrated Product Design, Design & Engineering, and Product Service System Design programs, embraced the project with enthusiasm, contributing to the development of parametric 3D models for new instrument keys and their related supports on movable frames.

Their work began with a foundation they created themselves: a three-dimensional model of the bassoon, which served as the starting point for the entire design process.

With multiple degrees from the G. Verdi Conservatory of Milan, Martina is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, choir and orchestra conductor, music educator, and author. 

She was one of the first musicians to test Densoon and believe in MAWIP, becoming the world's first Densoonist!densoonista al mondo!

Founder and performer of the ARNOLD Quintet and of several chamber music ensembles, he has held the position of principal bassoon in prestigious orchestras, including the Orchestra RAI Milano, where he served for 15 years.

He shares MAWIP's mission of promoting practical knowledge of the bassoon and currently contributes to the dissemination of effective methods for facilitating the learning of embouchure and breath support techniques.

Born in 1996, this talented saxophonist graduated with honours from the Master's Degree program at the G. Verdi Conservatory of Milan. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with renowned artists such as G. Falzone, E. Rava, and E. Intra, as well as performing with prestigious ensembles including the Italian National Jazz Orchestra of Conservatories, the Verdi Jazz Orchestra, and the MJO.

He is currently a saxophone instructor at CPSM in Milan and a soloist with the young ensemble I Camaleoni, a rapidly emerging project gaining recognition in major Italian jazz contexts. Since 2024, he has been collaborating with MAWIP on the testing of our instruments, passionately promoting our philosophy and showcasing our creations through his talent.
