Me in Tokyo, in 2012
Me in Tokyo, in 2012

I was born in Bologna, Italy, in 1978, by an Italian mother and British father.

Since 2012 I have been writing about my travels in blog, in Italian language, Orizzonti. I love to travel but I keep going back to Japan and to Kyoto, in particular.

I have been published on Nat Geo Traveler Italy, daily newspapers, and wrote two guidebooks in Italian on Japan.

Im 2014 have written a short book about my travels in Japan, also available in English.

I was also one of three authors of the new Japan guide published in Italy by the leading publisher Touring editore. More on it here.
