Enrico Casarini

Enrico was born in Bologna in 1966. He started writing for his primary school newspaper, and went on to write for his high school newspaper. He ended up being a journalist, a job which gave him great satisfaction and great friends. He has worked for L’Europeo, Visto, A, Max, Carnet and CondéNast Traveller and now he is editorial consultant for Il mio Papa. He has written a few books, including one on the relationship between music, TV and Italian politics in the 70s (and he assures us it’s great) and two guide books about Bologna for Touring Club Italy. His hobby is collecting fidelity points on his Milano-Bologna Trenitalia membership card.
