Antonio Biggio was born in 1970 in Santa Margherita Ligure (GE), Italy. His passion for writing emerged at an early age—he began composing poetry at just five years old. He made his theatre debut at nine at a school play, under the guidance of his mentor, Mario Forella.

Theatre was a passion that has kept him on stage ever since.

In 1992, he earned a Diploma in Acting and Directing from Starline in Cinecittà (Rome), officially launching a career that led him to establish and direct three theatre companies, including the Compagnia Stabile del Teatro R&G Govi in Genoa, where he also served as Production Director.

For over fifteen years, alongside his work as an actor and director, he taught drama at his own Performing Arts Academy, as well as in secondary schools and colleges. With more than eighty productions to his name—ranging from comedy to classical and contemporary theatre—his passion for the stage has been a defining element of his life, along with his love for cooking, football and Iron Maiden.

In 2013, he moved to the United Kingdom, where he currently lives with his family.

As an author, he published a collection of poems titled “Amore Teatro Malinconia” in 1991. In June 2021, his debut novel “Eddie deve morire“, published by Blitos Edizioni, quickly climbed the Amazon bestseller charts, garnering widespread acclaim. The novel’s success led the publisher to translate it into English and Spanish, further solidifying his career as a writer on an international scale.  In October 2021, the English version “Eddie must die” was released worldwide. He then curated the Italian translation of the book “Loopyworld – The Iron Maiden Years” by Steve Loopy Newhouse, published by Tsunami Edizioni in June 2022. In September 2022, the second book in the trilogy “Il sepolcro di Eddie” was released, followed by the English version “Eddie’s Grave” in January 2023.

In October 2024, the final installment of his trilogy, L’Enigma dei Tre Eddie (English title: The Three Eddies’ Enigma), have been released, bringing his gripping series to a thrilling conclusion.

His novels are now distributed worldwide, attracting a broad audience of readers passionate about mystery, thrillers, international intrigue, and, of course, Heavy Metal.
