Matteo Corallo, a law graduate from Trieste, is a blogger and essayist. Since 2013 he has lived in Berlin, where he writes about Germany and the surrounding area trying to verify if what is said about the German myth of the \’locomotive of Europe\’ is true.

He collaborated with the foreign press agency AISE and the Corriere d’Italia.
