Davide Zingone was born in Naples in 1973. He graduated with honours in Foreign Languages and Literatures at “L’Orientale” University. He speaks Spanish, English and Catalan fluently, but who knows him well swear he masters even a couple of Italic dialects. He worked abroad as Italian teacher and as translator for some publishing houses.
Today he attends mainly to tourism (Technical Manager of a Travel Agency) and to cultural associations. He loves reading classical novels of European and American literature, strictly in the original language. He defines himself a “considerable expert” of the “anime” production of the Japanese master Go Nagai. Among his interests there are sport and music, especially blues. He collaborated as a columnist for several paper reviews, dealing with literature, linguistics e sociology, but even with satire. Many articles of his can be found on the web.
In 2007 his passion for linguistic and etymology leads him to know Esperanto, the auxiliary language planned by the Polish ophthalmologist L.L. Zamenhof in 1887. He falls in love with this language for its great expressive potentials, becoming soon an appreciated expert and popularizer.
For Zingone the writing, as any other form of art, is not a matter of simple gift or of temporary inspiration, but rather a physiologic act, like breathing, eating or sleeping. It becomes necessary every time that the writer becomes aware that his inner feeling clashes with the surrounding world.
