Writer and storyteller
Matteo Caccia is an Italian storyteller, writer, and radio host, widely known for his ability to portray daily life in his stories. A graduate of Milan’s Accademia dei Filodrammatici, he began his career in theatre, collaborating with directors like Antonio Sixty and Antonio Latella. In 2005, he wrote and performed in La maglia nera, a show dedicated to cyclist Luigi Malabrocca. Alongside his theatre work, he has built a successful career in radio. After stints on Radio Popolare and Radio2, in 2008 he created Amnèsia, a highly successful radio drama. He went on to host, for Radio 24, Vendo tutto, Io sono qui, and, since 2019, Matteo Caccia racconta – a programme exploring everyday life through personal stories.
With the rise of podcasting, he started creating high-impact projects like La piena - Il meccanico dei Narcos (Audible, 2018), based on the story of Gianfranco Franciosi, and Orazio (2024), a daily podcast for Il Post, in addition to Oltre il confine and L'isola di Matteo.
He has also written books like Amnèsia (2009), Il silenzio coprì le sue tracce (2017) and Voci che sono la mia (2020). He teaches storytelling and corporate communication at Turin’s Scuola Holden. His ability to turn personal experiences into universal stories, leveraging radio, books, and podcasts to explore the depths of the human experience, make him one of Italy’s most influential storytellers today.
