Charity projects

In the Nineties, my background as a volunteer in pediatric hospitals with ABIO Association (a charity association supporting Italian pediatric hospitals), made me understand the importance of inspiring hope to ill children. That is why I started to tell them the funny, adventurous and educational stories of a shy, tender and clumsy mouse, Geronimo Stilton.

Children loved them, and I started to write his adventures, that soon became books.

ABIO Association is still in my heart, and I still support it.

Since then, my books still talk to the heart of the children…

Living your good values

I try to apply in life the good values that I mention in my books. This is why I still volunteer, attending many charity events with many different associations, like for example ‘Cooperativa Sociale Il Granello Don Luigi Monza’, which supports disabled children in many interesting initiatives.

I am Ambassador of Zecchino d’Oro and Antoniano Onlus.

I was elected in the Permanent Committee of Terre des Hommes Italy (humanitarian projects in the world).

Archaeology

I am very fond of archaeology of all world, of all cultures, and I try to convey this passion to children in many of my books. I visited many archaeological sites and in particular here I am in Cahuachi, the greatest archaeological open site of raw bricks in the world, invited by Professor Vittorio Orefici, Director of Center for Precolombian Archaeological Studies in Nazca, Peru.
