Italian team wins first prize @ Imagine Cup 2006
I already blogged about Imagine Cup and the Italian team’s project in this post, where you will find a couple of links and information about the competition and some other projects too.
The team of Giorgio Sardo, Massimo Paternoster, Silvia Perrone and Andrea Sossich from the Polytechnic of Turin, Italy were awarded a cash prize of $25,000 for its effort.
[UPDATE: I'm glad Giorgio Sardo commented this post; you can find more info about the "HelloWorld" project at this url: http://www.giorgiosardo.com/HelloWorld]
The second prize went to the Brazilian team, while the Norvegian team won the third prize. India got the third prize in the interface design category.
Looks like Italy is winning a lots of competitions this year…hope this trend goes always better. 
However, just wanted to renew my best congratulations and wishes to my countrymen. 
Bravi ragazzi!

Yes Hiren, as an Italian I hope the last successes to bring some optimism in my country, and to give the start to a rise that other european countries started a couple of years ago. 
Thanks for your comments, though .
France’s lead designer probably got a red card for hacking into Italy’s system in the last minutes of the game Good to see a European country win this, hope it gives a boost to European IT industries as well.
That’s what everybody’s hoping.
Thank you! If you are interested you can get more info about the project at http://www.giorgiosardo.com/HelloWorld
See ya
