I’m currently based in Tokyo as a correspondent for LifeGate, as well as being a member of the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan (FCCJ). I was covering the road to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics planned for summer 2020, and am now reporting on their postponement. I’ve also written about former prime minister Shinzo Abe’s legacy, the impact of climate change in Japan and accessible tourism. I’ve produced articles and videos in English and Italian featuring the latest news as well as analysis and interviews.
