Macchinista Society Event 2026 - Melbourne

Macchinista Society is back, bringing technicians together for coffee, technical knowledge, hands-on learning and conversation about the machines we work on every day. Joining us from our head office in Scarperia, Italy, are Andrea Simonelli and Francesco Cammunci, alongside our local technical team. It's a chance to step away from the tools, get up close with La Marzocco's latest developments and, most importantly, share what you're seeing in the field. Meet the guest speakers Andrea Simonelli – Product Manager, La Marzocco, Scarperia. Andrea leads product development from our head office. He'll take us through the product design process and how he balances the many forces involved in bringing a new machine to a global market. Francesco Cammunci – Aftersales Manager, La Marzocco, Scarperia. Francesco works with La Marzocco's global technical community, turning feedback from the field into product improvements. He'll share how that loop keeps our machines built to last and supported for life.
