Nicola Mazzocca

Former Contributor

Born in 1978, a proud employee of Arci Servizio Civile where, a latter-day Quinlan, he gathers false evidence to steer towards military service those who fail to earn his sympathy, Nicola loves music, especially Japanese music, with dangerous and uncontrollable leanings towards the pop of Beyonce and the like. He has a firm priestly vocation, although the entities he worships are many and far from orthodox; here we recall his role as grand chamberlain and official translator on the committee for the all-out defence of the Bard Gigi D'Alessio, as well as that of mystic shaman in the rituals invoking the God Luxor. A forum regular and jack-of-all-trades on the OndaRock forum, he has written reviews for this site together with Matteo Lavagna, under the pseudonym "The Poppolones".* Profile curated by official biographer Francesca Astarita
