ULIVIERI FABRIZIO
Department Chair
Professor of Italian Language

e-mail:

Fabrizio Ulivieri was born on the 10th of  February 1956,  in Montelupo, Fiorentino.  Despite his age,  he doesn't seem to grow old.
And rumour has it that he could be a Dorian Gray's emulous The Evil has in fact driven him until the day he definitely took consciousness that he needed a redemption and that day was when he met a Magician from Korea.
From that encounter came the tale, THE MAGICIAN FROM GOXIAN.  New energy and impulse arose from his regenerated soul, completely inert up to then and injuriously dazzled from a lost life under the powerful agency of a  Maya veil.
Today Fabrizio Ulivieri works as the Director of the Italian Department at the Istituto Europeo. He has published some linguistic articles in the prestigious Journal Studi di grammatica Italiana, printed by the Accademia della Crusca, and in the german Zeitschrif t für italienische Sprache und Literatur. He has also published many tales and articles on line. He was an appreciated collaborator for  www.ilciclismo.it for which he wrote stories and satiric reports about cycling.
He renounced the collaboration when Matteo his unique and real mentor left the online magazine.
Now Fabrizio Ulivieri eschews  the cycling world.  Yet his is fully disgusted with the hypocrisy of those who lay plots  and pretend not to know what everyone knows about the cycling world.
He recently published two books: L'Eterno Ritorno, Akkuaria,  and Albert Richter un'aquila tra le svastiche. Il ciclismo tedesco tra nazismo ed esoterismo (1919 – 1939), Bradipolibri.
