Radio has always been the soundtrack of my life. I began behind the microphone in Campania (ItalY) in the early ’90s, working with local stations such as Radio Antenna Partenope, Radio Zeta FM, Antenna Uno, and Radio Punto Zero. Those were formative years—community-driven, raw, and intensely creative. I broadcasted live the old-fashioned way, long before the internet reshaped communication.
Alongside radio, I took my first steps in journalism with Radio Music Magazine, based in Bologna, a paper magazine exploring Italian music and the broader radio landscape.
In Naples in 1998, I helped launch CalcioCampano, the first innovative and visionary online portal dedicated to football teams in Campania. It was a pioneering project that, for the first time in Italy, integrated press news, a live radio program (broadcast by Radio Punto Zero and streamed globally on the internet for the first time), a TV sports show (Telecapri Sport), and automated news‑updating technology, all within a single multimedia ecosystem.
After moving to northern Italy, I joined OhMyNews International, one of the world’s first global experiments in citizen journalism, based in South Korea. That experience later inspired my reporting for The Nation Junior in Bangkok, where I covered cultural and educational topics from a European perspective for an Asian youth audience.
Later, I wrote for Fanpage d’Autore and La Voce d’Italia, focusing on society and culture. My collaboration with La Voce d’Italia also led me to BBC Three Counties Radio, where I joined Roberto Perrone’s program Mondo Italiano as a visiting host.
In parallel, my print and digital journalism evolved through the launch of CoffeeBI, where I combine data journalism and business intelligence to explore communication, markets, and the coffee industry.
