Our mission

About us

Retoria is a training organisation specialising in Artificial Intelligence based in Milan. We foster a critical, human-centred culture of Artificial Intelligence and promote language learning as a tool for autonomy.

Our mission is to put people at the centre of the digital transformation: to train citizens, students and professionals who can understand, govern and use Artificial Intelligence critically and consciously, and to value languages as a tool for autonomy and connection.
