Stefania Lucchetti

Stefania Lucchetti is an award-winning Italian poet and essayist. She is among the most widely read Italian contemporary poets worldwide as she is bilingual (Italian-English) and writes in both languages. Her bibliographical profile is listed in the archives of Italian Poetry Org, Wikipoesia and Poetesse Donne (Italian Women Poets archive).

Born in 1975 in Verona, Italy, Lucchetti saw her first poetry published at 13 while living in the US with her family, marking the beginning of a long journey as wordsmith. She studied classics at Liceo Classico in Gorizia and then went on to obtain a JD in law from Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan in 1999, with a thesis on the liberalisation of the telecommunications sector. Among the first Italian lawyers to specialize in telecommunications and new technologies, Lucchetti advised several early internet pioneers and technology companies over the years. She was also the first Italian lawyer to qualify as a solicitor in Hong Kong, after qualifying also in the UK. To enrich her knowledge and writing depth, she also obtained a second master’s degree in clinical psychology.

She writes a well loved blog (available both in Italian version and English version) which readers can sign up to from her website.
