-Which writer inspires you the most?

Honestly I don’t remember a writer or a screenwriter inspiring me the most. When I started to study screenwriting by myself I was 15 and I’ve read books by famous Italian screenwriters like Ugo Pirro or Agenore Incrocci. At the end I realized they were not so useful to me. After some years I decided to study classic USA screenwriters as Linda Seger, Syd Field and Robert McKee, and they seemed to me more honest in explaining some secrets of the screenplay. By the way I like to read some philosophers, as Saeneca or Schopenhauer, and I appreciate some books by authors like Charles Bukowski, Michel Houellebecq, Anthony Burgess, Thomas Mann, Antonio Moresco and Michail Bulgakov. Perhaps some of them might have had an influence on me.

-What is the main challenge you encountered while writing your work?

I don’t see writing as a challenge. I see it as a normal process. Sometimes it could be difficult, or boring, sometimes it could be more satisfying. But I never perceived it as a particular challenge. The real challenge to me is to find money to make the movie, and then get success with this ready-made movie.

 -Every screenwriter needs feedback after completing their project. Is there someone you always turn to for their opinion as soon as you finish writing?

Not really, or better: random. Sometimes there are some people, that are not always very close friends of mine, and they read what I’ve written and come out with very different suggestions and points of view on my work. So it is tough for me to decide who I have to listen. Until now I never had the opportunity to show my work to a great professional screenplayer, unfortunately.

 -Are you currently working on a new screenplay? If so, can you tell us more about it?

No, because I’ve written this screenplay called STIGMATLER which won the Modigliani Literary Prize 2023 in Rome as a Finalist in their concourse, and then the book was published on Amazon and Google Books. So I have finished my writing work and I am now currently committed in fund raising for this project.

 -If you had to describe your writing style using three adjectives, which ones would you choose?

I really do not know. Maybe I try to be concise, grotesque and brutal at the same time.  I like dark comedies and noir and erotic or weird films, but on the opposite side I admire also some Hollywood classics and the Nouvelle Vague. So perhaps my work might be a concentrate of disparate influences and tastes.
