Marco Di Caprio is an Italian author and essayist whose work explores the hidden dimension beneath reality. Born in Aversa in 1989, he studied Modern Literatures and later specialized in Italian Studies at Roma Tre University.
He is the author of The Mystery of Easter Island, a Cold War era novel set on Rapa Nui, where the search for a sacred relic becomes a deeper journey into the unknown. In his writing, external events are never final in themselves. They are signs, traces of a presence that cannot be possessed, only approached.
Alongside his fiction, he wrote Chromatism in Troubadour Lyric Poetry, an essay centered on the tension between light and darkness in medieval verse. This duality continues to shape his work, where illumination and obscurity coexist and define one another. His poetry collection In Circles reflects a mind moving through repetition and fracture, in search of a center that always seems near, yet remains just beyond reach.
He has also worked for several years as a teacher of Italian literature, guiding others through texts that speak in layers and silences as much as in words.
Influenced by Dostoevsky and by the experimental spirit of The Beatles, Di Caprio’s writing moves between tradition and revelation. His work suggests that meaning is not something to be found once and for all, but something that calls, withdraws, and returns, like a distant light.
