Beside the job at the store, I am part-time working at Ph5 as web relations manager.

"Sette Sere" is a local weekly paper, circulation 10,000. "Due" is its cultural supplement.

writer of the updating chapters of the book "50 anni di bands a Faenza"
I Libri del Pipinè
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Publishing industry)
November 2006 — June 2007 (8 months)
It is a local publication telling the story of all the bands that played rock in my hometown since the 60s. The book was first published in 1991. From November 2006 to April 2007 I have been working on updating the story from 1991 to 2007:
• interviewing 40 band leaders from the province, listening to their old releases (tapes, cds, vinyls) and gathering iconographic material (photos, album covers, posters, fliers);
• researching information in the local mediateque about society and politics to picture the background that allowed that fertile music scene to born and grow;
• writing introductions and clips for every band linking time period, genres and international trends and influences.

Livia Fagnocchi’s Interests:
have a look at contemporary arts museum to be amazed by what artists can think and do, going to sleep reading novels and have a long sunday breakfast with essay (philosophy, semiotics, linguistics, religions), newspapers, magazines (Mojo, Il Mucchio, B-side, XL but also Linus, Geo and Martin Mystère), listening to music, being freaky addicted of it, going to concerts, loving flea markets, drinking tea and cooking risotto.
