ELISABETTA DAMI is the author of the Geronimo Stilton Series
The daughter of publisher Piero Dami (founder of Dami Editore in
1972) Elisabetta got her start in the world of fiction as a proofreader
at the family publishing house. At the age of 19 she began to write her
first stories. She has assisted sick children as a volunteer ever since
she was young and this experience led to the idea of writing adventure
stories featuring a mouse, Geronimo Stilton, as protagonist. The
character became a hit both in Italy and abroad. It is thanks to this
success that she is able to continue to help sick, orphaned and
abandoned children.
Elisabetta divides her time between Italy and the town of Sedona,
Arizona. She likes to travel and undertake adventurous activities and
explorations, such as when she traveled around the world on her own at
the age of 23. She has climbed Kilimanjaro, done trekking in Nepal, run a
75-mile marathon in the Sahara Desert as well as two New York City
marathons, and done parachute jumps. Some years ago she also earned a
pilot's license.
