THE AUTHOR: Emiliano Reali
Emiliano Reali is a young, talented Italian writer. He graduated in Theology and made his debut when he entered his very first story in a national contest, held by the Holden School of Turin, and won. In 2009, he achieved success with his novel “If Bambi was a tranny?”. Some of his works are recognized as having a high-cultural value and are used in elementary schools. In 2012, The City of Rome sponsored the event celebrating his book release of “On the Edge” – Sul ciglio del dirupo, italian version – (DEd’A), which has since been translated in English. It was widely reviewed in the national press and presented on numerous radio and television channels. In 2013, a new and entirely rewritten version of “Ordinary” was published (DEd’A). It was the first AR-Book (augmented reality) in Italy, and in February 2014 a cartoon version, Ordinary graphic novel, was also published. Reali also writes for the screen and he is scriptwriter.
