Carlo Barbieri was born in Palermo, Sicily, Italy. He is a person always on the move – as a man, as well as an author. In fact, he has travelled extensively worldwide, living for years in Iran and Egypt before settling in Rome; while as an author, he has been successfully moving from one genre to another. Known to the public for a series of intriguing thrillers whose main character is Mancuso, a 24 carat Sicilian police commissioner ("La pietra al collo", "Il morto con la zebiba", "Il marchio sulle labbra", "Assassinio alla Targa Florio", "La difesa del bufalo", "Tre"), Barbieri published also humor-filled books like "Those Damned, Questionable Famous Quotes" – his first work in English, available also in italian as "Te la do io, la maledetta frase celebre"; also, the prize-winning books "Pilipintò" and "Siculo babbìo", with its offspring "Babbiando babbiando" series, and the collection of short novels "Uno sì e uno no". Since few years, driven by the unfulfilled desire to have grandchildren, he has started writing also detective stories for kids. Published by a major italian publishing house, "Dieci piccoli gialli" was an immediate success. Eight more books followed in three years, all featuring the same main character – the little detective Ciccio. Some of them were translated into Chinese and Turkish, and a TV series based on them is about to be produced. Another success, still for children, was "Pino Tanuso e l'incredibile SuperBike Ali-N". Among the works aimed at adults, to be mentioned "Tre passeggiate a Palermo", an intriguing, light "tourist guide" Barbieri dedicated to his fascinating native city.Several of his thriller and novels, most of them delightfully narrated by himself, are available also on Audible.
