Carlo grew up in Rome, Italy. He moved to Michigan in 2001, after spending a couple of years in New Mexico and a few months in New York, working as a server. In Ann Arbor, Carlo started taking classes at the local community college and transferred to Eastern Michigan University. After graduation he plans to move to Seattle with his faithful dog and apply to graduate school. He is particularly interested in traveling and exploring different cultures; he has visited more than fifteen countries and lived in Italy, Australia and United States.
