He was born and lives in Pavia, where he graduated in Romance Philology with Cesare Segre. After teaching literature in schools for a few years, he devoted himself mainly to translation from English for publishing. Since then, he has translated about eighty works - mainly fiction, but also non-fiction and poetry - by numerous authors, including Rudyard Kipling, Samuel Beckett, F. S. Fitzgerald, Thomas Pynchon, Paul Auster, Martin Amis, Joseph O'Connor, Irvine Welsh, Charles Bukowski, Tim Parks; and among the poets Jack Kerouac, Vladimir Nabokov, Charles Reznikoff, Simon Armitage, Blake Morrison and Bukowski and Auster. For his work, in 2000 he received the National Prize for Translation from the Ministry of Cultural Heritage.
He has published three books of verses: Al ballo della clinica (Marcos y Marcos, 1997), Le radici nell'aria (Guanda, 2004) and Mortalissima parte (Guanda, 2007). His texts have been translated into English, French and Spanish (from Argentina).
He worked with the Roman historian Marco Sartori on the writing of two historical essays: Teutoburg, 9 A.D. (Rizzoli, 2005) and Canne - Description of a battle (Mondadori, 2008).
He teaches Literary Translation at the University of Pavia and at the Master of Publishing set up by the Collegio Santa Caterina da Siena in collaboration with the same university; and Rhetoric and Literary Composition at the IULM in Milan.
