Leonardo Pini
Florence
Summary
I began writing for a local newspaper when I was 8. The newspaper's focus was about soccer and I used to write articles about my team's struggles. I always wanted to be a journalist, for this reason after my Bachelor's Degree, and after living for one year in Cincinnati (OH) as an exchange student, I was able to find a job at Toscana Tv where I learned how to edit video and audio as well as appearing live on Camera. In December 2021 I got accepted at the Master's in Journalism at Luiss University where my multimedia skills developed and formed the journalist I am today. During this experience I had an internship at La Stampa for three months where I was a web editor, pitching stories not very well-known in Italy. Then, La Repubblica in Florence came knocking at my door. I worked extremely hard and after 4 months they proposed my another year as junior reporter.
