“Lightness for me goes with precision and determination, not with vagueness and the haphazard.”
Italo Calvino, Six Memos for the Next Millennium
I began to write when I was a child, but it was my high school Italian teacher that introduced me in the magical world of books, words and language and helped me understand which path to travel. Actually, that’s the reason why I’m here.
As a writer, I’m a young one. Even though I’ve already published three novels, I haven’t stopped evolving my style yet. In my first attempts, I used to plan everything carefully, but as the time passed by, I found out that tight control was not working for me. Now I prefer to leave space for my characters, let them be and develop themselves freely. Not too much, actually. I follow them from behind, I get surprised, laugh, fall and rise with them; in the end, I gather all those messy tales and give them some order, and eventually write them on paper.
Fantasy fiction is my preferred writing genre as both a reader and an author, because it’s an infinite source of inspiration that gives me the power to shape new worlds and the tools to write about hard topics in a light, but not superficial, way, as Italo Calvino wrote in his books. I wrote also other kinds of tales, but eventually, I have always come back home.
