I work with game studios, writing teams developing historically grounded stories and I’m expanding into film and TV. I support projects at any stage: from testing whether an idea holds up, to development, to final review before release.

A historical consultant usually focuses on research and fact-checking; a script doctor focuses on structure and writing. I do both.

Depending on the project, I help build believable characters and immersive worlds, verify historical context to strengthen credibility, and shape the narrative so history makes the story more powerful, not just more accurate.

I always weigh the narrative and cultural impact of each creative choice, to avoid the kind of unnecessary complexity or oversimplification that weakens audience engagement and leads to disappointing reviews.

The earlier, the better. Involving a consultant during development allows historical research to shape creative decisions from the start, rather than fixing problems later at a higher cost in time and money. However, I can also step in at later stages to address specific historical or narrative needs.

It depends on what you’re trying to achieve. A single doubt or decision point might need just one focused conversation, while building a historically grounded world from scratch, or getting ongoing support through development and production, can run over several months.

Yes. I work in Italian and English, and collaborate mostly remotely with creative teams anywhere. I also speak some German, though English is my working language.

We’ll start with a conversation about your project, its current stage and what you need support with. From there, I’ll recommend the most suitable way to work together and define the next steps, scope and timeline.
