Gatchó is the reflection of his style
Every book signed by Giacomo La Rosa is born from a slow gestation and meticulous revision.
He builds the plot before handing it over to the voices of his characters, and carves each word as if it were fabric.
His books tell a story of evolution.
"When you reach the crossroads between fantasy and fiction, walk on — and never look back.”— Giacomo La Rosa
What do his
books narrate?
In his novels the readers embark on realistic journeys. Love leaves its mark, inner conflicts in search of redemption, and intimate paths illuminated by external elements that bring light to the shadowy premises of each plot. The endings are never predictable.
They always leave the door open to something hopeful.
Giacomo La Rosa, a life spent listening to stories.

La Rosa
A storyteller who weaves imagination into the fabric of everyday life.
Who is Giacomo La Rosa?
Writer, publisher, explorer of the fantastic.
But above all, a careful listener of reality.
Giacomo La Rosa grew within the classics of the ancient world and the inspiration and rhythms of everyday life.
From a very young age, he wrote poetry and soon understood that writing was the best way to comprehend the world.
"A writer should not teach but narrate spaces to be shared.".
- Giacomo La Rosa
"A child who dreams is playing. An adult who dreams is building a better society.” — Giacomo La Rosa
Born in Rome, he earned a Master degree in English Literature and Creative Writing at Harvard. After a long career in film, he now devotes himself to writing novels.
His deep knowledge of North, Central, and South American cultures—alongside Europe—and his extensive experience in both film and publishing give him a uniquely creative profile.
Giacomo founded Gatchó Books because every story needs its own time, its own voice, its own space.
He thinks of his readers as a community of loyal friends, waiting for his novels the way one awaits a cherished letter.
