Luca Scarcella(Italy)

Born in 1989, I’m based between Los Angeles and Turin. I’m a freelance investigative journalist, an author and a creative. I lead a team of machine learning engineers, data scientists, photographers, web developers, sound designers and other creatives, that collaborate with me to create cross-media journalism projects, documentaries, and podcasts.


Since 2013 I’ve also been working - as a communication consultant - with several brands and web agencies in Italy and UK (​with clients like Salomon, The North Face, Google, Gordon’s)​, and I’m a member of the jury of ​Social Creative Awards​, with Facebook, Gucci, Lamborghini and many more. Recently, ​I was recognized by Thrive Global​ (magazine​ founded and directed by Arianna Huffington)​ as “one of the most influential under 30 in the publishing field right now, capable to merge effectively new technologies, social media and journalism”. I​ was also a TEDx organizer and licensee​, and in June 2018 I did my first TEDx talk: “​ Investigative journalism based on music theory”​. I’m a pianist, graduated at the Conservatory of Turin in 2011.


Now I’m studying journalism at UCLA in order to grow professionally.

I’m the author of “​Childfood - Recipes for Young Coolinary Explorers​”, a cookbook for children in which I involved 23 top chefs and as many illustrators, from all over the world, ​and in 30 days I raised more than $ 61 thousand USD to fund it on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter​.
