He has also written for other newspapers, including El País and Aviation Week and Space Technology, the most important international magazine in the aerospace world. Giovanni published his first essay, Il libro dei voli spaziali (The book of space flights), in 1984 and this was followed by another thirty or so, five of which translated into English, French and Spanish and distributed throughout Europe and the US. Il nuovo sistema solare (The new solar system), published by Mondadori, is authored jointly with Margherita Hack.
