About

I'm a TV writer originally from Italy, part of the Writer's Guild Italy (WGI) and the European think-thank for Virtual Reality, the VR/XR Creator's Lab (Bayerisches Filmzentrum / Creative Europe).

I've worked for both networks (Mediaset/ RTI) and production companies (Toro Media, Zero Stories and Lux Vide, among the others). In early 2018 I was awarded a full scholarship for an MBA in Creative Producing from the 24 Ore Business School (Rome) and in 2019 I was selected for RAI Fiction talent scheme for screenwriters and creative producers.

I'm partner of Kyklos Entertainment, a company based in Rome founded by Luigi Forlai (previously creative producer on the Endemol Italy series “Tuscan Passion) that develops scripted and non-scripted formats for the international market.

I’m also a founder of the writing collective "Three-O”, a trio consisting of Cecilia Marotta (contributor for Vogue Italy, Vice and The Huffington Post) and Simone Salvi (VFX Artist and game designer).

I’ve published a book of visual poetry (“Concrete Lake”, Lago 2019) and taught a course on the adaptation of IPs on the Italian TV market at 24 Ore Business School.
