Stefano Labbia, a young Italian author of Brazilian descent, has truly demonstrated his incredible creativity and entrepreneurship through his various ventures in the arts industry. Labbia was born in 1984 in Rome, Italy, and his multicultural background greatly influenced his artistic sensibilities from a young age.

Labbia's passion for writing and storytelling began in childhood, where he would often create his own stories and characters. After completing his secondary education, he pursued an online degree in screenwriting at the University of East Anglia, UK. During his studies, Labbia honed his skills in writing and developed a deep appreciation for literature, poetry, and theater.

Following his graduation, Labbia embarked on his writing career, publishing his first collection of poems, "Gli Orari del Cuore," in 2016 with Casa Editrice Leonida. This debut received critical acclaim and established Labbia as a promising new voice in Italian poetry.

Continuing his literary endeavors, Labbia released his second poetry collection, "I Giardini Incantati," and his debut novel, "Piccole Vite Infelici," in 2017. The latter won the Elison Publishing Award for Best Unpublished Novel that same year. Shortly after, "Piccole Vite Infelici" was published in print by Maurizio Vetri Editore in 2018. Labbia's versatility as a writer was showcased in his collection of short stories, "Bingo Bongo & altre storie," published as an e-book with Il Faggio Edizioni in 2017.

In the following years, Labbia continued to release a plethora of works across different mediums and genres. He published his third poetry collection, "Vivo!!!" with Tempra Edizioni in 2019, and his first graphic novel, "Killer Loop'S #1," with LFA Publisher. In 2020, Labbia achieved great success with his self-help book, "Be happy: think different" (published in Italian as "Il pensiero diverso"), offering practical advice on finding happiness in the modern world.

2020 proved to be a fruitful year for Labbia's publishing career, as he released his fourth poetry collection, "Nel Rifugio Sommerso," his second collection of short stories, and his second novel, "Come vivere in tre comode rate," all under his own publishing house, Black Robot Publishing. In 2021, Labbia published his third collection of short stories, "Il trucco di Moliére," and his fifth poetry collection, "Amore dopo amore," both with Black Robot Publishing.

Aside from his writing, Labbia is the founder of Black Robot Publishing, a UK-based publishing house that aims to provide a platform for emerging and established writers across diverse genres. Under this publishing house, Labbia has not only published his own works but has also collaborated with other authors, such as publishing the collection of short stories titled "Fantàsia" with ASROO, an Italian non-profit organization supporting children with cancer. Additionally, Black Robot Publishing released the anthology of short stories "Super Madness: Peace," featuring Labbia's superhero character, Super Madness, in partnership with Horac Nepal, an international non-profit organization supporting underprivileged children in Nepal.

Labbia's creativity extends beyond the realms of writing and publishing to the theater industry. He has written several plays, with "Discarika" and "Tulle" receiving positive reviews from audiences and critics after the release.

In the film and television sector, Labbia has collaborated with artists and companies worldwide, producing and writing for various projects. Notable works include "Butterfly Lies," a TV show exploring the lives of two women in a spy story, "Safe," a TV show delving into the themes of power and corruption, and "Life Goes On - La vita va avanti," a film exploring love and loss in Italy. Labbia's latest project as screenwriter is "The Offsite," a sitcom set in Italy that follows the lives of a group of young students living together. He collaborated with Andrea Tranchina to create and direct the show, and he has written the first three episodes.

Labbia's talent and dedication have not gone unnoticed, as his works have earned him multiple awards and recognition throughout his career. Notable accolades include the Elison Publishing Award in 2017 for "Piccole Vite Infelici," being named a finalist for the Premio Internazionale "Il Federiciano" in 2019, and being selected as a quarter-finalist in international screenplay contests.

Moving forward, Labbia plans to continue writing, publishing, and producing works that explore new themes and styles. Furthermore, his commitment to supporting charitable causes through his artistic endeavors sets him apart as an artist and entrepreneur who uses his talents for the greater good. Stefano Labbia's journey serves as an inspiration for aspiring writers and artists worldwide, showcasing the power of creativity and entrepreneurship in the arts industry.
