Carmelo Abbate

He works for the Italian weekly magazine Panorama, where he began as a collaborator and today he serves as Senior Editor, in the past he has held the same job for the cultural section of the magazine.

As undercover reporter he conducted several major investigations, in particular with regard to social and economic topics, illegal immigration and catholic church scandals such as homosexuality in the Catholic Church, or catholic priests involved in pedophilia. His book Sex and the Vatican: a secret journey in the reign of the chaste was rather curiously ignored by almost all of the Italian media becoming instead bestseller in France.
