Antonio Lombardo

Antonio is a passionate writer, born in Catanzaro in 1973 and raised in Petilia Policastro (KR), Calabria. He graduated in Telecommunications Engineering in Florence and has lived and worked in Rome since 2001, dedicating himself wholeheartedly to his profession as an ERP technology consultant.

A father of four, he finds his deepest inspiration in his children. Each story, fairy tale, or novel is his way of conveying values, emotions, and magic, creating worlds that can make both children and adults dream.

His latest work, "Arocha and the Secret Santa" (Dec. 2024), is a fantasy tale celebrating the true meaning of giving and love, set in the enchanting heart of the Valli Cupe, a magical place where natural beauty and imagination blend together. Through this story, Antonio aims to remind readers that every gift, no matter how small, has value when it comes from the heart.

When he’s not writing, he enjoys exploring nature, reflecting on human connections, and dedicating time to his family. He firmly believes that culture is a gift to be nurtured and shared and is always ready to give voice to the stories that inspire his soul.
