About

Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.

— Monty Python, The Meaning of Life

Hi! I'm Alberto, I’m currently enrolled in a postgraduate Master’s in Digital Marketing and Communication at Bologna Business School, which I started after completing my Master’s degree in Semiotics at Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna. My background combines digital communication, editorial writing and semiotics. I've worked across film journalism and festival coverage to brand analysis and content strategy, but the thing I find most compelling is understanding how cultural meanings can take shape in clearer, more accessible forms of communication, especially when they are meant to reach a specific audience. Over time I've developed practical skills across editorial planning and content production, copywriting in different registers and formats, social media management, video editing, and press office work.
