Nicola Pesce likes to describe himself as a reader before a writer. Afflicted by Asperger's syndrome, he has chosen to see it as a strength that allows him to see and describe the world in a different way. In love with slow living and the little things, he works every day to actively promote kindness and a love for culture. He is a digital nomad traveling across Italy and the world, armed with old, yellowed notebooks in which he writes his novels and poems.
