Biography

Lorenzo Miglioli was born in Bologna in 1960 and studied at the Tassoni scientific school before studying cultural anthropology in the United States. Returning to Italy he graduated in sociology (specialising in semiotics) at Urbino University, where he worked with Umberto Eco for two years at CILS ( the International Centre for Linguistics and Semiotics).

He lived for some time in London near Hyde Park.

He has created several theatrical works, including "Minimali" with "Taxi de Moon" and others, which were defined the first experiments in cyber-theatre at the Polverigi Festival in 1984.

As a journalist he has contributed to Panorama, L'Europeo, il Manifesto, il Mattino di Napoli, Frigidaire, and The Face, among other publications.

He worked for some time in television for the Italian public broadcaster RAI, and in radio before becoming a creative producer for the cinema and dedicating himself to writing. He wrote his first novel, "Hitler Warhol Experience" while also working on his first hypertext novel, "Ra-dio". After the unexpected success of the latter, he wrote a pamphlet "Berlusconi è un retro virus".
