Everything I do revolves around my love for the automobile. Whether it's about design, engineering, or the stories of the larger-than-life personalities that have shaped the industry, it's been an all-consuming, lifelong obsession.

So far, I have contributed to numerous publications, written several books, and dabbled in creating short-form video documentaries.

I write, research, and speak about automobile design and history, with a particular focus on Italian marques, models, and personalities from the post-war era to the present day.

I genuinely enjoy what I do and am always eager to collaborate with like-minded individuals. If you're interested in working together, please don't hesitate to contact me.

ABOUT ME

I've been obsessed with automobiles since I can remember and began drawing them as soon as I could hold a pencil in my hand. I kept incessantly drawing cars throughout my school years while telling my incredulous classmates I'd be a car designer someday. 

 

That dream became a reality in 2006, after which I lived the dream for over a decade, working for several international companies. Now I share my unparalleled knowledge of automobile design and Italian motoring history as a university lecturer and published author, collaborating with several institutions and publications.
