Stefano Gherardi was born in 1986 in Genoa, where he lives and works.

In 2012 he earned a Master’s degree in Philosophy from the University of Genoa, with a thesis on the passions in Spinoza. In 2020 he completed a specialization as a support teacher at the same university.

He works as a support teacher at the Sandro Pertini High School.

In 2025 he began an analytic journey with Maria Vittoria Ceschi, and in 2026 he became associated with the Freudian School of Psychoanalysis. After moving for a long time between Jung and Lacan, he ultimately found in an unvarnished Freud a solid point of reference.

He plays chess (badly), without an Elo rating.
