Luciano Di Gregorio is an Australian-Italian author, he teaches in the Faculty of English Writing, Literature and Publishing, as well as in the Business Faculty.
Luciano teaches across a number of university and international education programs in Italy and overseas. He came to Rome and AUR after an international career that included more than a decade in Hong Kong, several years in London, and time living and working elsewhere in Europe. That movement between countries, languages and institutions informs much of his work as a writer and teacher.
His teaching is centred on voice, style and human presence in texts. In fiction, creative writing and academic writing, he works with students on narrative control, restraint, expression and the development of an individual style. In business communication, he is particularly interested in the balance between vulnerability and authority, and in how professional writing can be direct, persuasive and recognisably human.
Luciano has written extensively for magazines, newspapers and cultural publications, with a focus on Italy, travel, food and regional culture. He is the author of the fourth edition of a book to the Italian region of Abruzzo, which was the first English language book dedicated exclusively to the region when it was originally published.
Alongside his teaching, Luciano writes fiction and essays. He is currently developing a book for on writing in the digital era, exploring how writers can preserve voice, originality and human presence in a rapidly changing communicative landscape.
Based in Rome, he divides his time between teaching, writing and exploring the relationship between identity and storytelling.
