Gianluca Piattelli

What drives you to create?

I create stories and characters to offer a kind of literature that makes people think — that invites reflection.

What inspires you?

Inspiration comes from everyday life, from ordinary moments, and from the art created by others.

How do you bring your works to life?

I write on my phone. My favourite time to do it is in the evening, carving out a quiet moment alone. Before starting a novel or a short story, I need a solid core idea and a timeline of the key events. It helps me move forward step by step and avoid writer’s block.
