Gianluca Nicoletti

Journalist and writer, a well-known voice of Italian radio.
He hosts daily programs for Radio24 (Sole24 Ore Group) and writes for the daily newspaper La Stampa. He is a Mondadori author.
He is actively involved in spreading awareness about autism and neurodivergence.
Since 2013, he has written three books on his experience as the father of his autistic son Tommy: "Una notte ho sognato che parlavi" (One Night I Dreamed You Spoke); "Alla fine qualcosa ci inventeremo" (In the End, We Will Come Up with Something); “Io, figlio di mio figlio” (I, Son of My Son). All three bestsellers are published by Oscar Mondadori.
He made a 90-minute film: "Tommy e gli altri" (Tommy and the Others), which tells of a journey across Italy, together with his son, in search of families with adult autistic dependents. It has been broadcast on Sky channels since April 2017 and was entirely self-financed and supported through crowdfunding.
In 2018, the film was toured in Italian high schools with the educational project "Cervelli Ribelli" supported by MIUR and Sky (in collaboration with Scuola Channel).
In 2020, he produced a docu-film "Tommy e l’Asta dei Cervelli Ribelli" which aired on Sky Arte on April 2, 2020, International Autism Awareness Day, in collaboration with the Cambi Auction House, Milan.
He designed and manages the web area for autism information "Per noi autistici" (For Us Autistics) (www.pernoiautistici.com).
The site, created in 2015 with the contribution of MIUR, is integrated with interactive participation tools, developed within the "Digital for social" project financed by the Vodafone Foundation.
He is the President of the Fondazione Cervelli Ribelli Onlus, an organization that commits to creating and supporting projects capable of providing useful services to families of individuals with autism.

The Foundation develops many projects through a dedicated Factory and an Academy, focused on research and corporate training.
In 2021, he created the “Cervelli Ribelli Hub Lab”, a multimedia physical space in the Prati district of Rome, capable of offering innovative and replicable modules of socio-educational workshops, aimed at providing dignity and social and work inclusiveness to vulnerable people, especially those who are neurodivergent.
