SC Alder (1993), pseudonym of Simone Calderoni, is an expert in fantasy, mythology and chivalric epic. He builds worlds with scientific rigor and deep knowledge of sources, and uses them to entertain, stimulate logic, and offer a syncretic vision of literature. Calderoni is also the author of the fantasy novel “Avventure dei cinque regni” (2024) and has written books for children and young adults with Lia Levi.
