WRITING & DIRECTING WORK

I have always loved reading and was terrified of writing.

Over the past few years I’ve co-written the documentary Maradonapoli (distributed by Warner Bros Italy) and have written my first solo show Diary of an Expat which has been presented at EdFringe at Underbelly, the response has been hugely positive from audience and reviewers (check out the Press page). With the theatre collective I founded Paper Smokers/Fumatori di Carta I co-wrote the show Miles Apart Together, a project on female explorers, and Franca Says No, about consent. I’ve written the book Inseguendo un Sogno published by Sperling & Kupfer, have taken part in several labs, such as the ones organised by Torino Film Lab and Veneto Film Commission.

I’ve always been fascinated with directing. From an early age I forced my family to sit down and enjoy extremely crafted and rehearsed performances in our living room. 

In 2018 Federico Buffa, who I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with over the past few years, asked me to direct his first non sport related show. L’Odissea di Kubrick has opened in Parma in November, with him and the Philharmonic Orchestra Arturo Toscanini conducted by Alessandro Nidi. It has been presented in June 2019 in a renewed version with a smaller ensemble at the Teatro Romano in Verona (http://festivalbellezza.it/ver/festival2019/). 

In March 2022 I graduated in Script Development at NFTS and I now work as a freelance script reader and developer. If you want to know more do get in touch.
