I have been following football, and calcio in particular, since before I can remember. I was born in Milan and have played, and still do play, football on the streets with my friends. While rushing down to the local newsagents every morning to buy La Gazza.

I have contributed to SkySportItalia. In terms of writing experience, I have a weekly article at BackPageFootball and write for the ItalyOffside, but most of all I run my own Italian football site. Calcistico is almost two months old, but has already fifteen writers. Similar to theoffside it has a correspondents for each club. As well as covering lower leagues and even reserve football.
