Vincenzo D'Angelo

    Vincenzo D'Angelo graduated in English and Spanish Language and Literature at UniFi and works as social media manager at The Florentine's sister company flod. When he's not writing or posting online, he's binge-watching yet another TV series, listening to music and finding new spots in town for an "aperitivo" or a "cenetta tranquilla" which are also his favourite sports. LGBTQIA+ advocate, his goal is to raise and spread awareness of LGBTQIA+ rights.
