[Yourtopia] Another possible venue for Yourtopia Italy

[Velichka Dimitrova]

Excellent!

We should really use this opportunity, Giacomo, go for it! Dirk is also
right we should approach Fitoussi and get his feedback on the app.

Also, it's great looking out for other initiatives and projects about
measuring well-being and happiness like the WikiProgress.
