He also teaches at LaSapienza in Rome. Cofounder of the magazine Calligrafia. At ATypI in Rome in 2002, he spoke about the shape of language (is typography the ultimate means of communication?). Author of G. Lussu, A. Perri, and D. Turchi: "Scritture. Le forme della communicazione" (AIAP Edizioni, 1997). Author of G. Lussu: "La lettera uccide" (Stampa Alternativa&Graffiti, 1999; also Nuovi Equilibri, Viterbo 1999). He is one of the founders of the magazine "Calligrafia". Editor of the series "Scritture" published by Stampa Alternativa, where volumes by Adrian Frutiger, R. O. Blechman, Roy Harris and James Mosley appeared. He created a Roman lettering font, Scipio, in 1998 for 8mm-high letters to be carved out on the path from the Pantheon to the Trevi Fountain in Rome. This roman type was based on the lettering found on the Sepolcro degli Scipioni (2nd century before Christ).
