Luciano Di Gregorio is an Australian-Italian author and Lecturer in Creative Writing at John Cabot University in Rome. He joined JCU in 2026.
Professor Di Gregorio has taught in a number of university and international education programs in Italy and overseas. He came to Rome and JCU after an international career that included more than a decade in Hong Kong, several years in London, and time living and working elsewhere in Europe. That movement between countries, languages, and institutions informs much of his work as a writer and teacher. His teaching is centred on voice, style, and human presence in texts. In fiction, creative writing, and academic writing, he works with students on narrative control, restraint, expression, and the development of an individual style.
Professor Di Gregorio has written extensively for magazines, newspapers, and cultural publications, with a focus on Italy, travel, food, and regional culture. He is the author of the fourth edition of a book on the Italian region of Abruzzo, which was the first English-language book dedicated exclusively to the region when it was originally published.
Alongside his teaching, Professor Di Gregorio writes fiction and essays. He is currently developing a book on writing in the digital era, exploring how writers can preserve voice, originality, and human presence in a rapidly changing communicative landscape.
Based in Rome, he divides his time between teaching, writing, and exploring the relationship between identity and storytelling.
