Who We Are
Auralcrave is the best online source for original, in-depth views on music, movies, series, commercials, social trends. Since 2015.
On Auralcrave, from the first day, we offer unique stories and original perspectives about the arts, passions, and trends you already love. We do it with two things in mind: sharing points of view that you won’t find anywhere else and presenting them with an inimitable, creative writing style that has become well-renowned worldwide. Stories for open-minded: a reliable space with news, analysis, discoveries, and curiosities about everything you are into.
Auralcrave’s content is written by humans, for humans. It was founded in 2015, when the Internet was already mature and populated by many decent websites operating in the entertainment industry. With this in mind, we always intended to offer content different than what you can find elsewhere: written with particular care to details, easy to read, characterized by a writing style recognized as friendly and straightforward, yet creative and stimulating.
Our goal is to improve your personal experience with the forms of art you already love: revealing new fascinating perspectives, discussing aspects you may have missed, and sharing the beauty you already noticed. We love art in every shape that arrives: songs, movies, TV series, books, visual and digital arts, classic paintings, architecture, and any human creation that can touch our hearts. We have a unique talent for explaining complicated things in a simple way, and that placed Auralcrave among the most visited websites in the world when it comes to song lyrics and movies or TV series plots and endings explained.
Auralcrave is proud to be one of the online spaces with the broadest editorial offer possible. Thanks to the vast set of expertise from our team, over the years, we have been able to cover any area of the culture and entertainment world: places to visit, digital trends, tech and innovation, food, gaming, lifestyle, and everything around. Always with the same core values: simplicity, curiosity, and unicity.
Auralcrave’s expertise in the entertainment industry is proven by the presence of thousands of websites linking to our articles as authoritative references for music, movies, and trends. Worldwide, every month.
All this made us a successful publishing house, self-publishing books in digital and paperback formats in 15 countries. We are partners with Amazon’s Kindle self-publishing platform, and our books regularly sell dozens of copies worldwide every month.
Stories for open-minded: your first-choice guide to navigate the world of modern entertainment.

Social media & communication
Carlo has been a web content creator for over 10 years. He founded Auralcrave in 2015, envisioning it as a new space capable of offering different perspectives on topics that passionate all of us. With a scientific background, Carlo developed an interest in music, cinema, literature, and art at a young age, transforming it into a complementary dimension to his professional growth. For years, he was a music journalist specializing in electronic and dance music, writing for the most important Italian magazines (both online and print). Movies and TV series have been a true obsession in many phases of his life: during university, it was not uncommon for him to set the alarm in the middle of the night to watch classic films airing on TV. With the advent of the Internet, Carlo became a keen observer of web and social phenomena, addressing light topics such as advertising, trends, fashion, and general themes. He is the main author of Auralcrave and personally manages its social media, editorial line, book publication, resource management, and business expansion. A former engineer, life coach, husband, and father, he believes that every area of knowledge has interesting stories that deserve to be told and is convinced that doing so makes the world a better place.

Auralcrave’s style and inspiration
At Auralcrave, Fatima contributes as a writer, focusing on leading the Spanish section of the magazine while also molding its style and inspiring content. Her passion for cinema intertwined with her studies in Comparative Languages and Literatures, honing her ability to transform images into lively words. Trained at Italy’s oldest and most prestigious art school, she explored paths in Italy, Spain, Germany, Japan, and Latin America. Each experience enriched her writing, crafting a vibrant cultural mosaic. Her storytelling mirrors her fascination with Hispanic culture, and her boundless curiosity led her to learn Brazilian Portuguese, delving into the beautiful lyrics of Bossa Nova. Through Auralcrave, she aims to take readers on an authentic journey, inviting them to explore the vast world of culture and entertainment.
