Vittorio grew up in Brazil and England before coming to the US for college and graduate school. In 2013, he started writing Charlemagne’s Legacy, a short novel set in the final years of the Carolingian Empire. The “short novel” soon spiraled into a series, of which Emma of the Ardennes (a novella) and the Count of Montferrat (a novel) are the first two books. A graduate of MIT and the University of Florida, Vittorio lives in New England with his wife and two sons.
