I’m a freelance writer, reporter, and occasional photographer.

After spending a few years abroad, including in the UK (a lot), Germany, Brazil and China, I’m currently based in Milan, Italy, where I was born in a family of Southern Italian migrants.

You’ll often find me writing about the people living inside news stories in Northern Italy and around the Alps and the Mediterranean. I’m drawn to stories of love, loss and ordinary life amid epochal change – and these are the kinds of stories I would like to write more often.

I hold a degree in Philosophy from the University of Milan and a Master’s in Journalism from Cardiff University. I’m studying portrait photography.

Among many others, I’ve worked with:

• The Guardian
• TIME
• Atlas Obscura
• LitHub
• Slate
• Columbia Journalism Review
• Newsweek
• Wired UK
• Public Radio International
• Delayed Gratification
• Al Jazeera English
• Deutsche Welle
• The Independent
• Evening Standard
• Index on Censorship
• Roads and Kingdoms
• New Internationalist
• New Statesman’s CityMetric
• Press Association – Video Desk (work experience)
