I am responsible for the Italian-language editorial staff of SWI swissinfo.ch and tvsvizzera.it. I am particularly interested in everything to do with Italian-ness in Switzerland and relations between Switzerland and Italy.
After finishing a degree in literature, I took my first steps in journalism over 20 years ago at Teletext. I have been working for SWI swissinfo.ch since 2004. During this time I have held various journalistic and management roles.
I work on topics concerning Swiss-Italian relations, whether economic, political, historical or cultural.
I'm a journalist based in Lugano with a name that reveals my family's origins. I studied in Neuchâtel and Fribourg, with a short stop in Bonn. In the past I worked for Corriere del Ticino and Giornale del Popolo, in politics and news, in print and digital media. Since 2021 I have been part of the tvsvizzera.it team within SWI swissinfo.ch.
I manage content distribution on tvsvizzera.it and SWI swissinfo.ch in Italian and I adapt the daily news on tvsvizzera.it.
I have two Masters degrees: English Literature and Italian Literature. I have been part of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation family since 2012, first with RSI and now SWI swissinfo.ch. When time allows I love to write about cultural subjects.
I mainly deal with Italian-Swiss relations, whether political, economic or cultural, with a focus on cross-border issues.
Born in South Korea and raised in Graubünden, after studying philosophy in Pavia, Geneva and Paris, theology in Lugano and finally communication in Milan, I turned to journalism alongside a long stint in the world of cinema.
Is your place of origin, your Heimatort, important to you?
Every Swiss citizen has a Heimatort, a place of origin, but many have never visited theirs. What’s your relationship with your Heimatort? What does it mean to you?
As a Swiss Abroad, how do you feel about the emergence of more conservative family policies in some US states?
In recent years several US states have adopted more conservative policies on family issues, abortion and education. As a Swiss citizen living there, how do you view this development?
