Maurizio Valtieri, born in Rome in 1963, is an Italian writer^[1].

As a child he lived in Nettuno, in the province of Rome, where while still very young, he published his first collection of poems, "Acontizomenos". Once in high school he founded the group "Élite" with a group of young intellectuals and directed the monthly W.N.E.

At the end of high school he published his second collection of poems, "Gli occhi di Medea" (The Eyes of Medea).

He then moved to Rome to attend university at La Sapienza. He pursued literary studies, specializing in the history of theater. At this point, he began his professional career as a playwright.

He wrote several plays, among which: “Gli imprevisti fanno parte del gioco” (The Unforseen is Part of the Game)^[2], “Accendi la cometa per favore” (Light the Comet, Please), “Mi ami?” (Do You Love Me?), “Taglia la torta che arriva la morta” (Cut the Cake, the Dead Arrives)^[3], “Deliri e monologhi” (Deliriums and Monologues), “Solitudini — Luigi Tenco e Dalida” (Solitudes — Luigi Tenco and Dalida)^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7].

While writing plays and fiction, he began to study theories of second language acquisition and to teach Italian to foreign students. He has worked as a teacher of Italian for various American Universities in Rome, most recently Pennsylvania State University^[8].

In 2007, his novel "120" ^[9]^[10]^[11]came out, where literature and theater merge together in a compelling story of folly and diversity.
