His main area of interest has been political-judicial chronicles, starting from Mani pulite to the judicial troubles of Silvio Berlusconi. He broke off to popularity on 2001, after having participated to a TV show on national channel Raidue, called Satyricon, and hosted by Daniele Luttazzi, where he presented his brand-new book, named L'odore dei soldi (Italian for Smell of money, co-authored by Elio Veltri), about the early fortunes of the rightist leader. It was period of electoral campaign for general election in Italy, eventually won by Berlusconi himself.
