Born in Mantua in 1983, he holds a degree in Modern Literature (with a thesis on poetic language in the music of Paolo Conte and Georges Brassens) and one in Historical Sciences. A former musician, he has worked in journalism since 2003. In November 2008 he founded the Alta Fedeltà insert, which became a point of reference for the local scene. Since 2011 he has written about music for Ondarock, and from 2014 to 2018 he did the same in the print pages of Mucchio Selvaggio, where he also covered literature. In 2016 he collaborated with Centro Palazzo Te on the installation "Brian Eno - 77 Million Paintings".
