about

I was born in Caserta, 1972. After having obtained my degree in Natural Science, I did research for some years. Karstic processes were my main research subject, with special interest for the Italian Southern Apennine.

I've been a caver with the GSM (Matese Speleological Group) since 1992. I was a member of the CNSAS (National Alpine and Speleological Rescue Corp) and an advisor for the SSI (Italian Speleological Society), for which I directed the editorial series "Quaderni Didattici". Former president of the FSC (Speleological Federation of Campania), I was editor of the book Grotte e speleologia della Campania (Caves and Speleology of Campania), funded by the Regione Campania. I participated in speleological expeditions in Central America and Europe. I’ve made travel and mountain journalism my specialization: I write for various magazines, among which PleinAir, Meridiani, Panorama, Alp, Rivista della Montagna, Cicloturismo, Speleologia, Intraisass, and for Touring Club Italiano, CDA & Vivalda, Carsa, Ediciclo.

Intolerant of sedimentation, I've always been trying to travel, by the most various means. I run after photos and narrations, supervise editorial and documentation projects, give advice for parks and protected areas. I write and tell stories, partly true, partly with the ring of truth about them.
