I was born in Torino in 1983, the year of Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, fighting teddy-bears from Return of the Jedi and Christopher Walken playing
an afflicted Johnny Smith in The Dead Zone by David Cronenberg.I grow up laughin at the italian comic Alan Ford, wondering about Peter Kolosimo's mysteries. Worshipping Mark Twain's timeless genius, and feeling a bit like Holden. Eating and hating Stephen King enough to make his writing part of me, willing or not. Fighting on the front line with John Carpenter and Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin roaring in the background.
When I was very young some literary contests were my first successes in writing. Then by studying and applying I started being published, while experiencing as a journalist, press agent and editor. I play bass guitar, I love classic rock and I've been in a lot of bands.
I like putting words together to tell stories, and much more. Understanding the ways a movie communicates better, and how an idea can make it stronger, even if it's old enough that Homer already used it. I think that being italian means learning from anglosaxon world without losing our identity, even if you write in english. And that a good story, well told, costs a lot of hard work. But there's nothing better in the universe.
