Gea Scancarello

Gea Scancarello is a journalist, born in 1980 and educated in Italy, the United States and Spain, where she has lived and studied.

Working as a freelance for major national magazines (Sportweek, A, Riders, ioDonna, L’Uomo Vogue) and as correspondent for the online daily Lettera43.it, she has written reportage from Lebanon and the United States, China and Algeria, Brazil and Cyprus. She has followed the social and economic upheavals of the euro crisis and Barack Obama’s electoral campaign; she has chatted about history, economics and the environment with Noam Chomsky, Jacques Le Goff and Louis Sepulveda.

The latest revolution she has investigated is the sharing economy: a phenomenon to be carefully handled, which could provide an unexpected way out of stagnation, both economic and human. Mi fido di te (Chiarelettere) is her first book; she has created a blog on the same subject: Pane e sharing.
