About Simona
This is an Italian investigative journalist with a multilingual background for both family origins and study reasons. I can work in English Spanish & French. 
As an investigative journalist I am an established cold cases' writer, cases which have been hunting my Country, Italy, for years. I started out my career in the US as an intern of an Italian University  project involving the creation of an Italian-American newspaper and magazine established in New York where I used to cover Italian cultural events in the Big City and wherefrom I started writing for some on line Italian newspapers too, so as to be registered to the Italian Journalists Association and get the access professionally to the job. I thereby enrolled in 2012 in the Association, which in Italy it is considered a compulsory step.
Once back to Italy in 2009 I started covering criminal news and local political affairs in Rome where I live and am based.  
Since I discovered the mysterious case of writer, film maker, poet and journalist Pier Paolo Pasolini in 2009, whose murder was investigated four times throughout the years by the Italian prosecutors, I focused my interests and work on Investigative journalism per se. 
I am the author of well known exclusives on the case as well as on mafias and politics. My books have been acquired by the Antimafia Parliamentary Commission in 2022 and other judiciary authorities. I also investigate on criminal organizations and their roles on the massacres which took place especially in the 90s and whose investigations still involve some of the Italian courts. 
During the years 2017-2019, I worked for the International broadcast company Euronews where I covered general, crime, governmental, EU and Int. al news. I am a contributor to some National newspapers such as Il Fatto Quotidiano and L'Espresso. I collaborated to some BBC radio shows as well as with an American Podcast Company Crooked Media/Campside Inc. as a Reporter on the ground - Italy based.
