A Red and Black heart and super dad to Leonardo and Beatrice.
I write children's football books, joke around on the radio, make videos with my son about AC Milan, and in my spare time, I work in publishing and food.
Books
I write books for children and adults.
In recent years, I have published:
Papà, van Basten e altri supereroi,
Superpapà contro supereroi,
Ronaldo contro papà, Storie di calcio raccontate davanti alla Play.
Radio
Since 2018, I have been a radio host for Radio Rossonera and the presenter of shows related to the world of football, food, and entertainment.
Video
Born from the experience of Papavanbasten, among the various projects I enjoy is a YouTube channel where, together with my son Leonardo, I humorously depict what a father is willing to do to raise his son as an AC Milan fan.
Bio
Class of 1983. Graduated in Economics and Service Management.
After more than ten years dedicated to human rights, activism, and grassroots participation for ActionAid, one of Italy’s largest NGOs, I now apply the same principles that have inspired me throughout my life to the world of communication (publishing, radio, podcasting, video).
Since 2018, I have been the Chief Operating Officer of the publishing house that manages Radio Rossonera and a host of shows related to football, social media, food, and entertainment.
I have contributed to various publications (e.g., Slow Food) before becoming a children's author for Battello a Vapore (Mondadori).
In 2017, thanks to a record crowdfunding campaign, I published my first novel, *Papà, van Basten e altri supereroi*, which has reached its fourth reprint, selling nearly 20,000 copies worldwide.
In my spare time, I run the website www.papavanbasten.com and manage a community of the same name, which has now surpassed 100,000 people across various social platforms.
