Paolo Roversi is an author, scriptwriter, and journalist from Suzzara who currently lives and works in Milan. He began studying modern history in Italy and writing articles for local newspapers, but ended up completing his degree in Nice, France. After returning home, he decided to pursue one of his other major interests and launched a career in computer science, leaving writing on the back burner.
During one of his business trips, however, he rediscovered his passion for storytelling and penned what would be his first crime novel. He has since published more than 20 novels translated into eight languages, some of which have been adapted as short films, plays, and an upcoming feature film. He has also collaborated on film, TV, and podcast projects and teaches courses at several schools, including the Scuola Holden in Turin.
