Biography

[edit]

Di Caprio was born in Aversa, in the province of Caserta, Italy.[1] He studied modern literature at the University of Naples Federico II and completed a master's degree in Italian studies at Roma Tre University in 2013.[1] After graduating he worked as a teacher of Italian language and literature in the Italian public-school system. He later obtained CELTA certification and the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) and has also taught English abroad, including brief periods in Russia and Colombia.

Writing

[edit]

Di Caprio began writing fiction in his teens. His first novel, The Mystery of Easter Island (2007), an adventure story set in 1969 that blends mystery and Cold War themes, was published when he was eighteen.[2]

He later turned to more introspective and experimental writing with the collection Horror Vacui (2019), which gathers existential and surrealist texts influenced by modernist and psychedelic imagery.[3] A subsequent project, In Circles (2025), combines poetry and philosophical prose around the concepts of time, repetition, and transcendence.

Recurring motifs in Di Caprio’s writing include circular structures, dreamlike imagery, psychological fragmentation, and the search for meaning through art.

Beatles alternate-history project

[edit]

Since 2021 Di Caprio has curated an extensive creative reconstruction of The Beatles’ discography, imagining how the group’s work might have continued had it not disbanded in 1970. The project involves designing hypothetical album track lists, artwork, and commentary spanning the 1970s and early 1980s. It has attracted attention on social media among fans of Beatles scholarship and alternate music history.[4]

Themes and style

[edit]

Readers and critics have noted Di Caprio’s mixture of literary modernism and spiritual inquiry. His writing combines introspective narrative with musical and visual symbolism drawn from rock culture, mysticism, and contemporary psychology.

Personal life

[edit]

Di Caprio lives in Rome, Italy.[5] Outside writing, he is active in teaching, music appreciation, and cross-cultural education.
