Partnership agreement for the blog 'L'isola dei cassintegrati'.

I co-founded the blog 'L’isola dei cassintegrati' ('Redundancy Island' in English), with Michele Azzu, to support workers of an Italian company who had taken over the prison of Asinara in Sardinia as a protest after losing their jobs. The concept aimed to satirize the reality show 'Survivor' (known as 'L'isola dei Famosi' in Italian) to garner media.

I published the book 'Asinara Revolution', a semi-autobiographical novel that recounts the story of 'L'isola dei cassintegrati' and illustrates how a workers' protest could achieve global visibility through social media. The book was officially presented at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia and in over 20 cities across Italy.
