Detect, investigate, reinvent. These activities are the basic steps of any literary reportage, a genre where crucial issues can be treated through a powerful high-quality writing. Great authors such as Emmanuel Carrère, William Langewiesche, Erich Schlosser, and Sergio González Rodríguez gave international fame to this cross-genre that mixes up fiction and non-fiction.

A journalist and a writer, Bernelli is also the author of the investigative novel Dopo il lampo bianco.
