Biography[edit]

The "love padlocks" in�Rome

He is the son of Italian scriptwriter and movie director�Giuseppe Moccia, and his
childhood was linked to the world of cinema through his father, which he wrote in
several Italian comedies of the 70s and 80s. It started in the world of work from
his father at age 19 as assistant director Attila flagello di Dio (1982) .1 Five
years later he directed his first film, Palla to the center, but the lack of
success he had caused Moccia wrote screenplays and directed several series. In 1992
he wrote his first novel�Three Meters Above Heaven�(Tre Metri Sopra il Cielo/Tres
metros sobre el cielo) which was rejected by several publishers and releases in a
small edition by "Il Ventaglio". Again without success, in 1996 wrote and directed
the film�Classe mista 3A�and returned to the world of television. In 2004, twelve
years after its first edition,�Three meters above Heaven�had a reissue, becoming a
bestseller and a�same title movie, also receiving several awards and translations
into several languages (also portuguese and japanese). In 2006 he published�I want
you�(Ho Voglia di Te/Tengo ganas de ti), sequel to the previous novel, which was so
successful that it was decided, again, to adapt it to film. Something similar
happened with�Sorry but I call you love�(Scusa ma ti chiamo amore) (2007), prequel
of�sorry but I want to marry you�(2009) (Scusa ma ti voglio sposare) whose premiere
was in 2010.
