ABOUT PICCOLI

My full name is Samuel Robert Piccoli. I was born on the Island of La Maddalena, off the northeast coast of Sardinia, to an American mother, from Philadelphia, and an Italian father, from Treviso. When I was very young my family moved to Rome. I studied political science at the University of Rome. I then moved to Venice. Best known in the social media world as “Rob,” I attended the Ca’ Foscari University, where I graduated in philosophy. I also studied English at San Francisco State University. A blogger, a History teacher (until a few years ago), a writer, I am based in the Venice area and live with my wife, my daughter, and our dog. In 2012 I published Breviario del giovane politico (in Italian) and Blessed Are the Contrarians. In 2014 I published his third book, Being Conservative from A to Z. In February 2021 I published my fourth book, Blessed Are the Free in Spirit.I am currently a contributor/columnist at Money.it, American Thinker, and NicolaPorro.it/Atlantico. Blogs are a great way to get into the habit of writing every day—essential practice for any budding freelance journalist! As a blogger, I have become highly skilled in providing online news content. My skills also include an in-depth knowledge of Italian political life and culture, and a good knowledge of American politics and government. Please visit my personal website and/or my author page on Amazon.com to learn more about my career as a writer. I\'m looking for news and feature writing commissions for printed and online publications across the world. Please feel free to head to my blog (or my books) for samples of my writing.Languages: Italian, English and French.Specialties: Philosophy, Religion(s), Italian politics, Education; Social, Lifestyle, Cultural Issues; Arts,(New) Media, US Culture, US Foreign Policy, Italy Domestic Issues, International Affairs, US Domestic Issues, Middle Eastern culture, Islam, US history, Tibet, Western Literature, Transatlantic Relationship(s)
