Team Members:

Gianluca Caputo (Verona – Italy)
Gianluca Caputo was born in Verona, the Shakespeare’s “fair” Verona. He grew up in Verona’s downtown, spending his free time between creative writing and visits to fascinating Italian cities, mainly in northern Italy. He graduated in Modern and Contemporary Italian Literature at the University of Verona in 2004. After just three months after his graduation, the well-established fondness for the unknown led to him to move to London, where he taught Italian in various private schools. He eventually decided to get his Master of Art in Italian Literature in the United States, where he lived for a period of two years. After his graduation at the University of Connecticut, he moved back to Italy where he is living at the moment. He is planning to move to Australia, just to make sure he doesn’t miss the opportunity to live in such a beautiful country.

Angela Miccoli (Viterbo – Italy)
Angela Miccoli was born in Viterbo, a nice town near Rome. She grew up in the countryside, in a small village called Tre Croci, where she developed a deep love for nature and popular traditions. She lived 5 years in Rome to study Japanese literature and foreign languages at “La Sapienza University”. While living in Rome she could enjoy the wonderful monuments of the city becoming more and more involved with art and archeology. Thanks to this passion and in order to show tourists the culture, the history and the costumes of Viterbo’s area she obtained a license as tour leader and tour guide.

Ursula Moro (Venezia – Italy)
Born and raised just a bridge away from the enchanting island of Venezia, she started traveling Europe at a very early age, first with her parents and then eventually alone. Strongly attracted by foreign cultures and languages, she decided to take part to an exchange-study program which, during her high-school years, brought her to spend over 14 months in the U.S.A: a country she fell in love with and has largely and repeatedly explored. Once back in Venezia, through the magic of literature and cinema, she grew a new fascination for Asian countries that leaded her to the path of graduation from Ca’ Foscari University, with a major on Japanese language and literature.
