Teseo La Marca grew up in the rustic idyll of a South Tyrolean mountain village. It is these conditions that might have sparked his strive to explore the “big” world. However, his investigative itineraries mostly led him to small mountain villages in Southern and Eastern Europe or in the Middle East. His interviews and reports were published for example in Swiss daily newspaper NZZ, German daily newspapers taz, Fluter, Dummy, Reportagen and Austrian daily newspaper Die Presse. The freelance journalist is based in Italy.
