Featured Work & Quick Facts
Approximate published articles: I must have written more than 800 articles throughout my career – these are a few I particularly enjoyed writing for 7bet.
Education & Languages
- I have a degree in Marketing, Sales and Export Management, which sounds grander than my daily to-do list usually is, but it's how I ended up writing for a living.
- I work in two languages: Italian, my native language, and English, which I'm fluent enough in to argue about football.
