"Anyone who doesn't read, at 70 will have lived only one life: their own.
Anyone who reads will have lived 5,000 years: there was when Cain killed Abel, when Renzo married Lucia, when Leopardi admired infinity... because reading is an immortality backwards."

Umberto Eco

​
Writing is one of the greatest magic I've ever experienced.
A magic that fortunately has never left me, even with more or less productive periods.

​

That's the beauty of it: the stories have to come out spontaneous.
It must be a pleasure to write a chapter of the novel just as it must be a pleasure to read it in the future.

​

I started from a very young age with a fan-fiction type sequel to Michael Crichton's best-seller Jurassic Park (inspirational guide always present when I write).
The "success", if we can call it that since I never published it but had it read to a few close friends including my science and literature middle school professors, was such that they made me bring the manuscript entitled "Il Sito B " as an exam paper.

​

I continued to write several more or less complete drafts over the years.
In 2020, with my most complete manuscript aka "Checkmate" in my hands, I made a bet with the part of me that still dreamed of being published and said to myself: now or never.

That was how my adventure as a budding writer began.
