He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) who has taught at the University of the Arts London, University of Sussex, University of Naples Federico II and Ravensbourne University London.

After having earned his postgraduate degree in theatre, film and television in Rome, Gianpaolo went on to work for RAI Radiotelevisione Italiana on a wide variety of programmes (talk shows, sitcoms, news, game shows, magazines, reality, cooking shows and a musical) for a decade. Eventually, Gianpaolo focused on sensitive topics of international relevance by producing documentaries and NGO promos across three continents.
