Biography
Biography
He wrote a cover story for the Italian magazine Ciao Big. Inspired by this experience, he left his career as an architecture designer to become the London correspondent for the Italian music magazine Ciao 2001, covering the events in the English pop and rock scene. In the early 1970s, Gallo met Genesis before their first Italian tour and became a good friend of the band. His most high-profile work is a book about the band entitled Genesis: The Evolution of a Rock Band. Originally published in 1978, it chronicles the band's early days – a period of time never covered by any other biographical source up to that point, including the band members' full names. One notable fan of the book was Bob Marley, who was spotted reading it on the steps of his home in Kingston. The book was reprinted and expanded in 1980 with the new title I Know What I Like. In September 2014, the book was published on iTunes. Gallo also went on to put together several books on Genesis founding member Peter Gabriel. In 1982, with his brother Claudio, he formed Fratelli Gallo Editori in Italy, editing and publishing over 40 music books as well as the monthly magazine PIX Photorock. Gallo has worked as a photojournalist in Hollywood for the last 35 years as a correspondent of the Italian weekly magazine TV Sorrisi e Canzoni. He is a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and as such is a voting member for the Golden Globes. Gallo is currently collaborating with Italian magazines Grazia and Oggi.
