About

My name is Novella Gianfranceschi, and I was born in Italy in 1995. I am a passionate biologist and storyteller committed to biodiversity conservation and environmental advocacy. 

After completing my Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biologist degree, I pursued a post-graduate specialization in Journalism from the prestigious Walter Tobagi School of Journalism in Milan, honing my skills in storytelling and communication.

Throughout my career, I have contributed extensively to Linkiesta, a prominent Italian news outlet. I served as a correspondent at the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (Cop 28), providing insightful coverage of global climate negotiations.

In 2024, I started collaborating as an investigative reporter for IrpiMedia.

As a freelance journalist, I am the author and curator of the press review podcast Aria Stampa  covering topics of climate and environment. Additionally, I write and blog offering thought-provoking perspectives on conservation and sustainability.

My passion for nature and storytelling has led me to collaborate with esteemed publications such as Radar Magazine, Simbiosi, and Storie Naturali.

Before my journalism career, I gained valuable experience working in the communication and conservation office of the Foreste Casentinesi National Park, where I developed a deep appreciation for the intricacies of ecosystem management. I also served as a scientific entertainer for the Trieste Science Museum, engaging audiences of all ages with the wonders of the natural world.
