Sergio Palombini

Born in the popular Roman neighborhood of San Lorenzo in 1938, Sergio Palombini was a child when he witnessed the bombing of Rome on July 19, 1943, an experience that left an indelible impression on him.

Employed for many years in the hospitality industry as a tour operator, travel agent, and hotel manager, Palombini is now retired. His first book, Guerra e Dintorni, was a memoir published in Italian in 2012. The Pilot of San Lorenzo is his first English novel, and he wrote Back to the Past soon after. Both English novels are published by CreateSpace.
