Andrea was born in 1969 in Italy. He studied history and political science at La Sapienza in Rome. Based in France for the last thirteen years, he has worked for television (Arte, Odyssée) and the press (Télérama, Jazz Hot). He has written several novels, poems and plays, the majority written in both languages. His play, Silvio Blues, the satire of a beaten and pathetic autocrat, gives us an intimate glimpse of what dictators experience when they fall. It is impossible to remain unmoved by this grotesque and disenchanted play.
