Livia Formisani

I was born in Gaeta (Italy) in 1983, in a house full of tech. As a child, I often ventured into my father’s lab, fascinated by the electronic components he used on a daily basis. He took notice, and taught me how to use a PC DOS at the age of eight, and a soldering iron later on.

Growing up, my curiosity for how things work translated to a passion for philosophy. With a Master of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Pisa, in 2007 I went after my lifelong dream of living abroad. Since then, I have lived in Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany and currently reside in Luxembourg.
 
After several years working in IT and Publishing, I decided in 2015 to focus on my passion for writing, and have since written for and launched a number of print and online magazines and websites. My ultimate goal is to learn as much as possible about the creative process, and far-reaching concepts and patterns across disciplines, to one day get a glimpse into why we are here. In a nutshell, I apply my attitude for philosophy to big think topics in IT, Space, FinTech, and more. This makes me particularly adept at thought leadership writing and ghostwriting.

Currently, I am a Columnist for American Express Essentials and a Web Project Manager and Editor at the University of Luxembourg - SnT (past: Overture, Expedia France, ENI, and more), among other. I write and interview in English, French, Italian and German, and I am a member of the German Press Association Deutscher Presse Verband and of the American National Association of Science Writers.

In my free time, I love to hike, play the violin, and visit science museums and astronomical observatories. My favourite place on the Pale Blue Dot is Kyoto, Japan. In addition to my journalistic endeavours, I am also working on a novel.
