I am an award-winning Italian reporter based in New York. I write and produce multimedia content about the New York job market, the green economy, social trends, immigrant communities and Islam in the United States for both American and Italian dailies and magazines. My publishing credits include The New York Times, The Huffington Post, The New York Daily News, the leading Italian economic paper Il Sole-24Ore and its monthly magazine IL. I moved to New York in August 2008 with a Fulbright scholarship to pursue a master of arts in multimedia journalism at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism. I graduated in December 2009. Previously I’ve done urban reporting in Milan and freelanced for Italian publications from Eastern Europe and Northern India. My awards include the Indro Montanelli Journalism Prize for a series of articles on Milan (2007), and a New York Foreign Press Association scholarship (2009) for his dedication to international journalism. I also hold a master’s in English and linguistics from Cambridge University. I speak fluent Spanish, as well as English and Italian.
