I live in Lecce, in the land of light that is Salento, and perhaps it is precisely the beauty of the places where I grew up that ignited in me, since I was a child, the desire to share emotions, stories, and lives. In 2015, after 14 years, I quit my permanent job to devote myself to my greatest passion: writing. Throughout my professional career, I have written short stories, novels, fables, and poetry collections, always striving to tiptoe into the hearts of my readers. For me, writing is never just technique or narration: it is listening, empathy, transformation. It is a sacred space where one can be oneself, without masks. Since 2013, I have been practicing autobiographical writing as a form of therapy for the soul, leading workshops and individual programs designed to help people rediscover themselves through the power of words. I deeply believe that sharing one's story is an act of courage and healing. My publications include The Voice of the Belly, Thoughts in the Mirror, He Who Flys Low Cannot Touch the Sky, It Wasn't Just the Wind, Of the Soul's Bonfire, I Am Love, The Red Room, Lalla and the Secret of Happiness, Alice and the Ghost Corona V, and Edo's Adventures to Save Planet Earth. Soon to be published is If It's Love It's Love, a collaborative project born from listening to the voices of many young people who have entrusted me with their truths about love, identity, and inclusion. I carry out projects in schools, organize workshops, host a podcast, Il Salotto di Giò, and continue to search, every day, for new ways to bring words into dialogue with life. I write to tell stories, but also to educate about beauty, listening, inclusion, and embracing diversity. For me, writing is an act of love. And in this space I have created, I invite you to walk with me through stories, thoughts, and emotions. Because every word that comes from the heart has the power to change something, inside and outside of us.
Ho condotto rubriche radiofoniche, tra cui “Dalla parte delle donne e non solo “ per Radio Porta Lecce e “Di Lunedì” per Radio One non solo suoni, affrontando temi legati all’attualità, alla cultura, al mondo femminile e alle dinamiche relazionali.
Ho inoltre curato la rubrica “Noi siamo i giovani” all’interno del quotidiano L’Edicola del Sud, dando voce ai pensieri, ai sogni e alle difficoltà delle nuove generazioni, e nel periodo delicato della pandemia ho sentito il bisogno di regalare parole che fossero rifugio: così sono nate le mie “Novelle contro la paura”, pubblicate su La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno.
Numerosi i premi e i riconoscimenti locali e nazionali.

Attualmente dirigo la collana “Voci Controvento” per la Casa Editrice Milella, una collana dedicata alle voci dei giovani, ai loro sogni e alle loro verità spesso inascoltate. Un progetto in cui credo profondamente, perché mette al centro il futuro, con autenticità e coraggio.
