He received Italy's prestigious literary awards, the Strega Prize and the Campiello Prize, for his first novel "The Solitude of Prime Numbers," published in 2008 when he was twenty-five.

He calls the present the age of contagion and examines the facets of today's hyperconnected society that also evokes universal loneliness. Through the age of contagion, he confirms that everyone is equal and shares a common destiny, explaining that transparent information itself is preventive medicine.
