He is also a journalist for Correct!v, a journalism center with its headquarters in Berlin. Giulio has a Master’s degree in journalism that he obtained at Università di Roma (“La Sapienza”). In 2007, he worked as a freelancer in Latin America, writing and photographing various news stories. He has written for newspapers and journals such as Terra, Il Manifesto, and Carta. In 2011 he co-directed Toxic Europe with Cecilia Anesi and the Belgian journalist Delphine Reuter, an investigative documentary that won the 2011 Best International Organised Crime Report. Since then he occupies himself principally with transnational inquiries on organized and corporate crime, including Food for Fraud (for which he also worked with the TV program Presa Diretta in the episode entitled “Sofistcazioni”). Giulio then co-wrote the inquiry Mafia in Africa produced by IRPI and ANCIR (the journalism center of inquiries in Africa) and published by Correct!v, Mail&Guardian, Fatto.it, l’Espresso, and Courier Internacional. In January he co-wrote the inquiry Hidden Fleet for Correct!v, which revealed a network of Syrian traffickers using the Mediterranean to move immigrants, weapons, and hashish. Together with Giulio Rubino and Margherita Bettoni, he also runs the MafiaBlog for Correct!v, writing about the Italian and transnational mafia in collaboration with local Italian and German media.
