About me

I am a Milan-based freelance reporter covering Italian news for The Times and opera for The Financial Times. My work has also appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Sunday Times, AFP and The Economist. I was the recipient of the $10,000 GroundTruth Migration Reporting Fellowship for a multimedia project exploring innovative integration schemes for migrants in Palermo. As an IJP fellow, I spent six weeks at the Reuters Berlin bureau, covering news and the Berlinale film festival. I have conducted grant-funded cross-border investigations, and spoken on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4 and RTÉ and ABC.
