What I'm looking for

I’m based in Mantua and happy to travel. If there’s a table to bring people around, I’d love to set it with you.

At Festivaletteratura, I’ve gone from the blue volunteer T-shirt to interviewing authors on stage and co-curating the “Accenti” events strand. I also founded Impulsi, the festival’s reading group, which has 550 members and draws 60–80 people to each online session.

Through freelance work in culture and publishing, I organise author events, literary interviews and reading promotion for libraries, museums and publishers. I also coordinate a reading group in Novi di Modena, with 30 readers who never miss a meeting.

I come from archaeology: in a finds store, I learned that everything needs the right label. People do too—everyone needs a seat at the table. I write short fiction and, from November 2026, I’m joining the editorial team of R/EST magazine.
