About Marco Di Caprio

Marco Di Caprio is an Italian author and essayist whose work blends literary depth with narrative drive. Born in Aversa in 1989, he holds a degree in Modern Literatures and a master’s in Italian Studies from Roma Tre University.

He is the author of the novel The Mystery of Easter Island, a Cold War–era thriller set on Rapa Nui that combines political tension, psychological insight, and symbolic storytelling. His writing stands out for its ability to merge suspense with deeper philosophical themes, appealing to readers who enjoy both engaging plots and layered meaning.

In addition to fiction, he has written the academic essay Chromatism in Troubadour Lyric Poetry, reflecting his strong foundation in medieval literature and poetic analysis. His upcoming poetry collection, In Circles, explores emotional cycles and inner conflict through a refined and controlled style.

Alongside his writing career, he has several years of experience teaching Italian literature, bringing clarity, structure, and interpretative depth to complex texts.

Influenced by authors such as Dostoevsky and by the experimental spirit of The Beatles, Di Caprio’s work bridges tradition and modernity, offering stories that resonate both intellectually and emotionally.
