Author David S. Matrecano was born in Genoa, an ancient and historic seaside city located in northern Italy, on February 3, 1969.

He grew up in Milan, an industrial town located in the northern region of Lombardy where his parents moved when he was a baby, usually alternating his stays in Milan with long stays, especially during the school holidays, at his maternal grandmother's house in Messina, Sicily. He currently lives in Spain, in the island of Ibiza, located in the Balearic Islands Archipelago, south of Spain. The Balearic Islands are: Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza & Formentera.

Endowed with a photographic memory, he can easily remember with astonishing precision, names, dates, battles and events of the most important historical events of the world. That's the reason why the author has devoted himself to three of his greatest passions; the systematic study of history, sciences and economics applied into human, social and economic facets. His knowledge ranges from the most remote prehistory of humanity to the first Pharaohs of Egypt, passing through the ancient Greeks, Persians and Romans (not forgetting the Chinese), arriving to the wars of religion between European Christians and Middle Eastern Muslims that occurred during the Middle Ages in a period known as "the Crusades". But, aside of those periods, the author is also very well prepared about the discovery of the Americas in 1492, the French Revolution of 1789, Napoleon's rise to power and fall, the Great British Empire, the American Civil War, the Russian Communist Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, World War I and WWII, USSR, United States and the Kennedy's Space Race, Korea and Vietnam's wars, to finish with the massive espionage of the cold war times between the US of America and the former Soviet Union (now Russia).
