I have started my career in the industry as journalist in 2001, joining Play Press Publishing, a dynamic company that thrived as a hub for numerous gaming magazines, including the prestigious Official PlayStation Magazine, XBM, Game Republic, PSMania, and many more. I have been Editor in Chief of Xbox Magazine and Deputy Editor of Official PlayStation Magazine and i've been in charge for a few special projects. My first solo mag has been a one shot guide to the World Cup 2002, because of my bond with football. During this exhilarating period of my life, I embarked on thrilling globetrotting press tours that took me to various corners of the world. With each journey, I had the incredible opportunity to attend exclusive events, conferences, and gaming expos, where I delved into the heart of the gaming industry. These expeditions not only allowed me to experience diverse cultures and awe-inspiring destinations but also introduced me to a vast network of industry professionals, developers, and journalists as well.

It involved meticulous negotiations, building trust with the parent company, and aligning our vision for the Italian expansion.
With the licensing deal in place, I wasted no time in breathing life into the website.
