Pino Cacucci

Scenic Rights is the audiovisual co-agency of Walkabout Literary Agency.

Pino Cacucci is an Italian author, scriptwriter and translator. He studied at the Bologna DAMS (Discipline DELLE Arte della Musica e dello Spettacolo). He left his home country in the early 80s to live in Paris and Barcelona for a certain period of time.

However, some years after he moved to Latin America, particularly Mexico, where he acquired that big passion he owns for the country and its culture. In fact, he reflects it in his narratives.

His novels shine for highlighting historical figures that were not particularly winners, or those who have been wiped out of the History that is normally told.
