Life and career


He was born in Turin in 1960 to a family from Romagna. At the age of nine he lost his mother, Giuseppina Pastore, to suicide: seriously ill and depressed, she threw herself from a building's fifth floor. Nobody wished to reveal the details to the young Massimo;[1] his father told him that she had died of a sudden heart attack. This episode has made a great impression on him throughout his life. He discovered the truth many years later, in the mid-1990s, reading a 1969 newspaper article.

He has published books and articles about Italian society and politics, an almanac about 150 years of the history of Italy (with Carlo Fruttero), and two series of stories about his soccer team Torino F.C. In 2010, he published his first novel, L'ultima riga delle favole ("The last line of fables"), that sold over 250,000 copies in Italy and was translated into several languages. In 2012, he released his second novel, Fai bei sogni ("Have good dreams"), which was the best-selling book of 2012, selling over one million copies.[2]

Starting in Autumn 2016, he has presented Le parole della settimana on the talk show Che tempo che fa.

After 28 years at newspaper La Stampa, he began working with Corriere della Sera in 2017.[3]

On several occasions he was accused (notably by the Sinti[4]) of being racist and using populist arguments in his columns Il Buongiorno and Il Caffè.[5]


Personal life


He was married to journalist Maria Laura Rodotà [it], daughter of lawyer Stefano Rodotà. He is now in a relationship with the italian writer Simona Sparaco [it], eighteen years younger. They have a son, Tommaso, born on 19 February 2019. He considers himself "a believer", but not Catholic.[6]
