Writer and communicator, educator and activist, his work explores the symbolic and material cultural devices through which our system produces marginalisation and exclusion.
Harpsichordist, pianist and ex-builder of ancient keyboard instruments, he is specialised in Disability Studies and Critical Autism Studies. He is the president of Neuropeculiar, the first Italian association founded and directed by neurodivergent people. He is responsible for the communications of Specialisterne Italia, teaches Autism Spectrum Disorders in the Master’s degree in Music Therapy at the University of Barcelona, and is an educator in the module on Neurodiversity in the Master’s in Inclusive Music Education at LUMSA University in Rome, of which he is the co-founder and member of the scientific committee. He is also part of the scientific committee of the Disability Film Festival.
He has published five books of nonfiction, in which he weaves autobiography, research and social analysis: Eccentrico. L’autismo in un saggio autobiografico [Eccentric: Autism in an autobiographical essay] (effequ, 2018), winner of the 2019 science writing award Premio Nazionale di Divulgazione Scientifica Giancarlo Dosi; In altre parole. Dizionario minimo di diversità [In other words: A concise diversity dictionary] (effequ, 2021); Di pari passo. Il lavoro oltre l’idea di inclusione [At the same pace: Moving beyond the idea of inclusion at work] (Luiss University Press, 2022); L’Errore. Storia anomala della normalità [Error: An anomalous history of normality] (Luiss University Press, 2024), examining the roots of normality as a social construct and instrument of power; Rompere il gioco. L’attivismo nel Ventunesimo secolo [Stop the game: Activism in the Twenty-First Century] (effequ, 2025), an invitation to rethink forms of dissidence in a time in which every act risks being neutralised by the very system it wants to change.
He is highly requested by organisations, companies and corporations for events in training, sensitivity and consulting, and he regularly speaks at festivals, conferences and public engagements.
