I was born and raised in Milan, Italy.

Woody Allen, Stanley Kubrick, and Alfred Hitchcock are the directors who have always inspired me, alongside the Italians Nanni Moretti, Dario Argento and Paolo Virzi’.

When I was in high school I met TV-host Michele Santoro who made me a recurring guest on his prime time talk shows. Later on I moved to Mediaset where I joined the crew of the legendary Antonio Ricci. I was a featured writer for Striscia La Notizia and his multiple spin-offs for almost a decade.

In addition to graffiti, WWE wrestling, and Opera, movies have always been my passion. To pursue a career in filmmaking I moved to New York, where I graduated in 2014 from film school. It was there I met director Amos Poe who soon became my mentor. With him, I wrote my thesis short film Frankie that won the Oaxaca Film Fest in 2015 and was nominated for the prestigious Nastro d’Argento in 2016.

Broken Eggs is my new short film starring Nicole Arlyn and NBC Shades of Blue star Michael Laurence. The Art of Meatballs is the script for the feature film based on Frankie I just finished writing.

Since 2011 I’ve been writing satirical articles, political analysis, and special reports on multiple Italian web sites under the alias of I Hate Milano. In 2016 I won the top Italian web award—the infamous Macchianera Internet Award—for best article of the year. On January, 5th, 2017 the special reportage I wrote inside the office of French newspaper Charlie Hebdo was published on the cover of Liberation.
