He authored the book Banche Armate alla Guerra: L'intrigo politico-finanziario dietro la guerra infinita, which critically examines the connections between financial institutions and military conflicts, shedding light on the political and financial complexities that drive global wars. Falanca is also known for his work Alfa e Beta: Cosa c'entrano Berlusconi e Dell'Utri con la stagione delle bombe 1992-93? This book delves into the controversial links between prominent Italian political figures, including Silvio Berlusconi and Marcello Dell'Utri, and the series of bombings that shook Italy during 1992-1993. His writing is marked by a sharp, analytical style that seeks to uncover the hidden mechanisms of power and influence. After publishing these works, he embarked on a corporate career that took him to live between Paris and Brussels.
