Hi there! I'm Daniele, a professional archivist and genealogist affiliated with the Association of Professional Genealogists based in Milan, Italy. I've been working continuously both online and in-person since 2019. My languages high school gave me the ability to speak in four of the major European languages (namely, French, English, German and Italian) but also the historical knowledge necessary to give an appropriate context to the genealogical researches I offer. On the top of that, I am currently interning as a professional archivist, a career path I hope I'll be able to pursue even in the future. I have expertise contacting both Church and State Archives and have successfully completed many family history researches in different countries including Italy, the USA, the UK, France, Germany, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil; I have also worked as a records retriever for the collection of documentation necessary to the recognition of "Jure Sanguinis" Italian Citizenship. To me, genealogy is much more than a mere recollection of birth, marriage and death registrations: family history gives us the possibility to reconnect with our roots through documents we had thought lost, and it is the only discipline that allows us to know ourselves, while also knowing our ancestors. What are you waiting for? If you're searching for a professional Italian genealogist, I'm here for you!

I am the one who can help you piece together your genealogical puzzle, especially if your ancestors are originally from Lombardy, Northern Italy. I base myself on 4 fundamental pillars: 1) archiving. I am a specialist in consulting the archives of Catholic parishes. 2) genetics. I am an explorer and I know the tools made available by the main analysis sites: Myheritage, Ancestry, FamilytreeDNA, 23andme, etc. 3) psychogenealogy: I can direct you towards interesting meditative and psychological paths that will allow you to unravel your ancestral bonds. 4) genealogical tourism: I can help you find and visit the places inhabited by your ancestors in Italy in search of their roots.

I am a writer and researcher with a focus on history, religion, and political thought, combined with advanced skills in prompt engineering and AI-based content workflows. My academic background in Political Science and International Relations (Roma Tre University), together with my entrepreneurial experience managing a tourism company in central Rome, allows me to approach history not only as an academic subject, but also as a living resource that shapes culture, education, and real-world business. I specialize in long form projects ranging from 8,000 to 60,000 words, but I also enjoy working on shorter scripts and essays when they allow me to engage with meaningful historical or political themes. What sets my work apart is that history and politics are my main passions. I do not treat research as sterile data collection, but as a way to engage with people, ideas, and debates. I approach each project with genuine curiosity, integrating economic, cultural, and social perspectives into a coherent and compelling narrative. Because of my academic training, I never filter history through a single perspective. I am comfortable developing less common angles or working on viewpoints that I may not personally share, but that are intellectually stimulating to explore and that enrich the final product. This openness allows me to produce work that is balanced, nuanced, and never limited to conventional interpretations. In parallel, I bring expertise in prompt engineering and AI systems, which I also apply in my tourism business to improve content creation and workflow efficiency. Since 2022 I have developed custom prompt systems and AI-assisted research pipelines for fitness, education, and historical writing. This technical background gives me the ability to combine traditional research with innovative tools, making large-scale projects both rigorous and efficient. Past work includes: • Long form essays on religion, economy, and the birth of capitalism • Historical scripts for media channels on Roman and medieval history • AI-based educational workflows and research pipelines I am open to both single projects, which help me diversify my portfolio and engage with new challenges, and long-term collaborations, which remain my ultimate goal. In either case, I bring passion, reliability, and depth to the work.

I am a multilingual documentary scriptwriter and producer working in English, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. I specialize in research-driven historical and investigative documentaries, transforming complex events into clear, engaging narratives designed for audiovisual storytelling. My work covers topics such as political history, geopolitical conflicts, and major economic scandals, condensing extensive research into structured scripts that are accessible to a broad international audience. Projects range from short documentary scripts to long-form productions lasting several hours. I also coordinate a small production team of narrators and editors, allowing projects to move efficiently from script development to fully produced documentary content. Scripts can be written or adapted across multiple languages to ensure that each version reads naturally for its audience. A portfolio of scripts and documentaries is available below.
