Journalist since 2001, I've worked for almost all kind of medias: radio, print media (press-agencies, websites and magazines) and a lot of TV. Born in Italy, where I've spent a big part of my life, but with a very international background, I've studied one year in Toronto and spent two years in Germany, before landing to France, where I've been living since 2009. Fully bilingual French and Italian, and fluent in English and German, I've worked as a reporter, presenter, newsdesk journalist and replacing head of service for the Italian Public Broadcaster RAI and the international all-news channel Euronews. In the past also free-lancer for the German radio network WDR, I work now especially as videomaker and videojournalist with both traditional and MoJo equipment, delivering full-edited packages. I also provide radio reports and editing and fixer services for Italy, Geneva and the Lyon area (France).

Éric, the 'punk gardener'. When humility and counterculture serve biodiversity
Éric Lenoir, self-described 'punk gardener', advocates for a more observant and less interventionist approach to gardening, challenging the notion that humans are 'masters of nature'. He emphasizes the use of natural resources, such as young tree shoots and leaves, for sustainable fertilization. His methods inspire both the industry and research, including the European project BFerst, which is exploring bio-fertilizers to reduce environmental impact. Lenoir's philosophy is detailed in his book 'Le grand traité du jardin punk', and he promotes a 'punk approach' to gardening, which involves questioning mainstream practices and finding low-cost, effective solutions that respect nature's autonomy.
Too much demand for the existing infrastructure. The renewables communities’ paradox in the energy crisis era
Renewable energy cooperatives like EcoPower and I-ENER are experiencing unprecedented demand due to the energy crisis and geopolitical tensions, particularly the war in Ukraine. These cooperatives face challenges in meeting the sudden surge in demand and managing market volatility. EcoPower had to adjust its tariff policy, while I-ENER struggles with supply chain issues. Abundance Investment promotes 'democratic finance' to involve citizens in renewable projects. The European Union's clean energy directives aim to support such initiatives, but implementation is delayed due to the ongoing crisis. The article underscores the importance of citizen ownership in accelerating the energy transition.
Circularity in the Construction Sector
The article discusses the importance of circularity in the construction sector, emphasizing the need to design buildings for material reuse and to hold companies accountable for their products. It draws parallels with the closed systems in 'Apollo 13' and 'The Truman Show' to highlight the finite nature of Earth's resources. The piece features insights from experts like Thomas Rau and Sabine Oberhuber, who advocate for a shift in mindset towards sustainability. It also showcases successful examples like the dismantlable office building of Triodos Bank and the development of digital tools by ITeC to track material impact. The article underscores the urgency of adopting circular practices to mitigate environmental impact and ensure long-term sustainability.
Why a former army barracks is being transformed into Austria's first eco-village
A former army barracks in Austria is being transformed into the country's first eco-village, Cambium Leben in Gemeinschaft, located near Graz. The community, supported by the European project Houseful, employs sustainable solutions like the Bio-Meiler for heating and a green wall for water purification. The eco-village, home to 60 residents, grows 70 different crops and uses a mini-bio gas plant for natural fertilization, aiming to create a self-sustaining, circular ecosystem.
Cambium: A pioneering community in recycling and reuse
In Fehring, near Graz, Austria, the 60-person Cambium community has transformed a former military barracks into an ecological village, pioneering recycling and reuse practices. They have developed a 'Biomeiler', a wood compost pile that generates heat for their greenhouse. The greenhouse, constructed from repurposed barracks materials, is essential for cleaning the community's greywater, excluding toilet waste. Environmental engineer Marco Hartl from Alchemia-nova has implemented the VertECO solution, a nature-based system that uses plants and microorganisms to purify water without additional energy. The regenerated water is then used to irrigate a garden with about 70 crops. The community is crowdfunded and supported by the European Houseful project.
The Hacker Who Decrypted His Medical Records to Create Open-Source Therapy
The article discusses the story of Salvatore, a brain cancer patient who made headlines for decrypting his medical records and sharing them online, which he described as a 'bio-political act'. It highlights the emotional and psychological challenges faced by cancer patients, who often feel reduced to their illness. The article also touches on the concept of 'narrative medicine', an approach that emphasizes the importance of listening to and valuing patients' experiences. Additionally, it mentions the European project Ulises, which is developing a nanotechnology-based therapy for pancreatic cancer, and the need for financial support from the pharmaceutical industry to advance clinical trials. The article underscores the urgency of developing new therapies, given the high mortality rate of pancreatic cancer.
