I am italian, I was born in the sunny city of Rome in the mid-70s but I always lived in the colder Milan. I deal with journalism and new media for business but I have many interests ranging from art to economy, from literature to evolutionism, from geopolitics to popular sciences.
I studied at the Faculty of Telecommunications Engineering at Milan Politecnico University, but then life took me elsewhere. I was a photographer, a theater’s lights technician, I wrote for luxory magazine and I interviewed people who I estimate greatly as the cinematographer three times Oscar winner Vittorio Storaro – with him I was lucky to talk for over an hour about lights and shadows in movies such as Apocalypse Now and Last Tango in Paris.
At that time I was involved in cultural pages and I had conversations with people able to enrich my experience – I like to remember the agreeability of the actor and presenter Raimondo Vianello, the writer Dacia Maraini who spoke with intensity to me in the weeks following September 11 attacks, the youngest italian chef Michelin stars Massimiliano Alajmo or Valentina’s cartoonist Guido Crepax.
Today, for work, I write mostly about economy, geopolitics and popular science, in fact I am a contributor of the magazine Eastwest and my articles are published alongside the names of prominent statesmen such as former Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato and Romano Prodi, or the former High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana. I also collaborate with the Corriere della Sera to a service designed to make known to as many people as possible the story and the work that is done every day in the editorial office of the leading Italian newspaper.
What else? I like walking outdoors, hiking in the mountains and swimming. I travel with pleasure. I love the Old Continent capitals, I have a passionate relationship with Rome, my birthplace, and a special predilection for Dublin, where I lived for more than a year. But most in general I greatly appreciate magic places full of history such as Lisbon, Barcelona, Berlin, New York and all the other cities I was lucky enough to visit.
