About me
My name is Antonio Pellegrini, I live in Genoa, and I am an Italian musician and author of books. I write music essays that are published by Italian publishers such as Arcana, Diarkos, Chinaski Edizioni and Officina di Hank, and are distributed in the Italian bookshops.
When I write, I like to venture out in search of things that I do not know and that have sometimes remained covered by the dust of time. During these journeys, I meet people, characters and stories. Writing is a wonderful medium that allows me to share these experiences with readers.
