If you're in Italy and want to fund your startup try contacting h-farm http://www.h-farmventures.com/

Disclaimer: I've worked with one of their startup but I know the place is great and they're more than willing to invest.

You could try mood based ads. Very difficult to sell to an advertiser, but it could have some interesting applications. I wonder if depressed or happy people buy more.

there could also be potential for B2B services: think airport lounges, auto salons, etc etc ...
