Francesco Caremani was born in Arezzo in 1969. For more than thirty years, he has covered sport as a form of civic resistance, writing for outlets including Corriere Fiorentino, Domani, Gariwo MAG, Il Foglio, Today.it and Tuttosport, after cutting his teeth at Corriere di Arezzo. Francesco has published several sports books with Bradipolibri Editore, most recently "Ask the Dust: When Football Is More Than a Game". In 2022, he founded thesportlight.net, a slow-journalism project for readers who believe sport is a matter of culture, not the league table.
