Strong gusts of island wind marked his entrance into the world in 1959. He emigrated from his native Cagliari towards the 'continent', where he lives to this day, under the miraculous shade of Pisa's leaning tower. His passion for writing grew, and became a profession, producing so far: Un assistente inaffidabile (Bollati Boringhieri, 1992), which earned him the "Giuseppe Berto" prize for literature; Il mio unico amico (Bollati Boringhieri, 1994) translated into French as Le Dico de mon père (Boulogne, Progress, 2000); Il maestro Atomi (Comix, 1997) and Il caso del contabile (Garzanti, 1999). His short stories and texts have also appeared in the writer's almanac Il Semplice, Comix, L’Indice, and Italiaplease.
