Some experiences remain special, no matter how many years pass. This week I've been so proud and happy to return to the "Evidence-Based Gastroenterology & Hepatology Course" in Volterra, historically known as TORGIANO. This is a course that played an important role in my early training, when I attended it as a resident, learning how to critically read the literature, design studies, and write scientific papers 🎓 🔰 . Coming back now as part of the organizing faculty was both an honor and a deeply meaningful moment. It truly felt like being "BACK AS IN THE OLD DAYS” 👴 , sharing discussions, ideas, and enthusiasm with colleagues and young investigators who represent the future of our field. Over the years, the course has continuously evolved. After a pause, this new edition brought the same strong methodological foundations while also opening new perspectives on artificial intelligence 💻 in gastroenterology, showing how innovation can complement, but never replace, solid methodological thinking. I am grateful to have been part of this new chapter and to contribute, even in a small way, to a course that has shaped generations of clinicians and researchers. A big thank to Gabriele Capurso, @Lucio Capurso, Calogero Camma, Maurizio Koch, Ciro Celsa, Marcello Fabio Maida, Cesare Hassan, Massimo Falconi, Salvatore Petta, Carlo Fabbri, Andrea Anderloni, Cecilia Binda, VINCENZA CALVARUSO, Salvatore Silvio Piano, Alessio Gerussi, Giacomo Germani, Luca De Fiore, Giansalvo Cirrincione, Silvia Carrara, Giovanni Marasco, Olga Maria Nardone, Ricci Claudio and to all the attendants!!!
