Board of Directors

Bo Arnklit – President

Bo Arnklit is a Danish-born entrepreneur, cultural advocate, and visual artist whose professional journey has unfolded primarily in Italy. After earning a degree in physics in the UK, he began his career in the field of electroacoustics before co-founding Technimedia in 1981, a publishing company focused on technology and media. During this time, he contributed extensively to the specialized press, helping to popularize audio and video technologies in Italy.

In the mid-1980s, Arnklit developed MC-link, an early telematic messaging platform that evolved into one of the first Internet Service Providers in Italy. In 1999, he co-founded MC-link S.p.A., a telecommunications company that would go on to be publicly listed on the Italian Stock Exchange in 2012.

After selling the company in 2018, Arnklit turned his attention to the creative passions that had always accompanied him: music, photography, and the visual arts. He began experimenting with digital technologies and artificial intelligence to create unique, genre-defying art books that combine traditional aesthetics with innovative techniques.

In 2025, he founded the Fondazione Arnklit ETS, with a dual mission: to support emerging talent in the arts through scholarships, training, and mentorship, and to acquire and revitalize the historic Teatro Flaiano in Rome as a vibrant center for cultural production, performance, and experimentation.

As President of the Foundation, Bo Arnklit oversees the organization’s strategic vision and institutional development, working to foster dialogue between artists, educators, and the broader cultural community.

 

Enrica Lavista – Vice President

Born in Rome, Enrica Lavista has nurtured a deep interest in the humanities and visual arts from a young age. While pursuing her professional career, she studied Sociology at the University of Rome – Magistero, and gradually developed a parallel path dedicated to artistic exploration.

For many years, she has focused on painting, drawing, and photography, blending traditional techniques with a contemporary visual language. Largely self-taught, she has refined her practice through workshops and studies with renowned artists such as Pedro Cano, Barbara Duran, Guido D’Angelo, and Beatrice Scaccia, as well as internationally recognized photographers including  Bazan,  De Dominicis,  Pinkhassov,  Podavini, Santioli, Soloway, and Alex and Rebecca Webb.

Her painting is distinguished by a measured use of color and minimalist composition, while her photography—often described as poetic and painterly—serves as a natural extension of her visual research.

Over time, her work has been exhibited and praised for its elegance, coherence, and lyrical restraint, characterized by soft chromatic tones, essential structures, and a quiet poetic sensibility.

Today, she enthusiastically supports her husband Bo Arnklit and son Dan in the creation and development of Fondazione Arnklit ETS, actively contributing to its cultural and artistic identity.
