Basically, I’m a creative guy.
I like to write stories which are as original as possible.
I don’t see the point in doing again a story that has more-or-less already been told by someone else.

Of course everything I have written above doesn't apply to TV writing :)

As for my experience, I have written and directed documentaries (for Sky Italy) and short films. One of them, "First Class" (written/directed with A. Bignami) won the Cinecittà Digital Screenplay Award and was screened at the Montreal World Film Festival, the Venice Int. Film Festival, etc, and was one of the three winners of "The WriteMovies.com Short Film Contest" in Los Angeles.

As a story editor/scriptwriter, I have worked for some Italian TV shows such as "I Cesaroni" (US version "The Serranos") and "7 Vite" (Spanish version "7 Vidas"). Working as a story editor on the set for a sitcom is a great way to learn how to write and rewrite as well as possible in a very short time. It also teaches you that your writing is not the holy Bible and that (almost) everything can be improved (probably the holy Bible, too).
