Sept 2012 – today Gruppo editoriale l’Espresso
Journalist at the newsmagazine “l’Espresso“. I usually work on hard news and in-depth stories. I personally signed 10 cover issues. My main topics of interest are: cultural heritage, environment, job rights and new trends – religion, society, young people -. For my journalistic work I won four prizes (see below). Other than writing for the printed edition of “l’Espresso”, I signed more than 600 shorter pieces on our online magazine, for which I also work as editor, and I wrote inquiries for D di Repubblica and Repubblica Salute
Among my last inquiries: the working class behind eCommerce; Italian Pentecostals; the art collection of Massimo Carminati; art and money laundering; love and sexuality among young Italian Muslims; the work condition of “digital proletarians” (on which the university of Bologna has invited me to speak); the waste of European funds; the precariousness in families in which both the father and the son live without a regular contract; the activity of animal liberation activists in Italy.
