Giuseppe Raudino

 (versione taliana) 

I am a freelance writer based in the Netherlands.

I am the author of more than 300 articles and several scholarly essays. My works have appeared in The Sunday Times of Malta, Art Times (New York), Scooter Magazine (Como, Italy), Motociclismo (Milan, Italy), La Nazione (national daily newspaper). As a fiction author, I published two books, while many short stories and two novels appeared on some local newspapers between 1996 and 2003.

I wrote my first article at the age of seventeen. After High School I studied at the University of Siena (Italy) and got a Master Degree in "Communication Sciences" writing a thesis on Umberto Eco.

While I was a student I edited the daily newsletter of the "International Short Film Festival" of Siena. Once graduated, I worked near Milan as a P.R. officer for a national chain of wellness, but afterwards I focused my attention on journalism again. Therefore I resumed to write for several papers, until I have been appointed as Editor-in-chief by the publisher of "La Voce di Siracusa", a  daily newspaper distributed in the Province of Siracusa (Italy).

Moreover I experienced the field of television as a copywriter (advertisement), a scriptwriter (TV programmes) and a video journalist. I also learned to handle a camcorder and to use many digital editing programmes such as Ulead Video Studio and Adobe Premiere.

In the yaers 2005-2007 I have been appointed as acting professor of "Theory and Method of Mass Media" and "History of New Media" by the Rosario Gagliardi Academy of Fine Arts of Siracusa (Italy).

UMBERTO ECO - philosopher, novelist, academic (University of Bologna, Italy): "Giuseppe Raudino has written a doctoral dissertation on some aspects of my work and I have appreciated it very much. He gave me the impression of being a serious and promising young scholar, able to match rigorous research with a great intellectual curiosity, a very open mind and an ability to develop new ideas in the fields of literature and media."

PAOLO GIANSIRACUSA - professor of Art History (University of Catania, Italy) and honorary director of the Rosario Gagliardi Academy of Fine Arts of Siracusa (Italy): "Giuseppe Raudino is a scholar interested in historical, artistic and anthropological matters related to the folks of the Mediterranean area. He has attended, with a methodological rigour, inedited researches on visual arts of the modern age in Sicily, with a particular reference to Siracusa. The didactic contribution that Raudino gave to the formative activity of the university students at the Academy of Fine Arts of Syracuse is also praiseworthy."
