I was born the 28th June 1982 in Milan.
I attained a diploma in science from high school before completing a Masters-level degree in Television, Cinema and Multimedia Production at the IULM University of Milan in 2006. I have always had a passion for films and telefilms and I have been working for just over a year as an editor of a magazine dedicated to TV series. In this period I have also appeared as an analyst on the show TV Talk broadcasted on RaiTre.
From the autumn of 2008 I have found myself at Mediaset, where I work on TV series and film programming for Rete 4. Since June 2013 I have been working as Channel Manager for Iris, Mediaset’s digital channel for cinema.
In 2010 my friend Marco Villa and I founded Serial Minds, a site providing criticism and in-depth analysis of TV series. Over the next four years the site has become somewhat of a benchmark for lovers of the genre and in 2014 it was awarded the best television site prize at the Macchianera Italian Awards.
In July 2014 I self-published my first book, a crime fiction novel entitled Icipit, available as an e-book on most online bookstores.
