Davide Oliviero

A Humanities graduate from the University of Bologna under Professor Umberto Eco, he began his career in classical archaeology, focusing on Greco-Roman dramaturgy. His interest in design led him to pursue a three-year course in interior design while continuing his archaeological work. Over time, he developed a passion for writing and classical music, which led to 14 years of opera reviews at major venues like Teatro alla Scala, Covent Garden, and the Paris Opera. He has also curated cultural and music content for various publications. Over the past year, he has written the In Arte column, covering exhibitions, theater, and literary arts in Rome, collaborating with institutions such as Le Scuderie del Quirinale and the Vatican Museums. He has reviewed theater, particularly musicals and prose, and is accredited in all major Italian venues. His expertise has made him a frequent guest on cultural television programs, and he serves as a permanent judge for the Andrea Camilleri Literary Prize. Through social media, he promotes art and beauty, skillfully blending levity and depth to make these topics accessible to a wide audience.
