Emanuele Nicolotti is an Italian writer and playwright based in Berlin.

His personal essays have appeared in prominent Italian magazines, including Il Post, Il Tascabile, L’Indiscreto, as well as in the British journal Anima Loci. His first book, a novel exploring the idea of home and how homes inhabit us more than we inhabit them, is forthcoming from Mondadori (Italy) in January 2027.

Between 2009 and 2013, Nicolotti primarily wrote theatre plays that were staged across Europe, at institutions such as Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels, BE) and Fondazione Teatro Due di Parma (Parma, IT). Notably, his fourth play Non vogliamo stelle questa sera was shortlisted for the 2011 Hystrio Prize for Playwriting.

As an editor and translator, he recently collaborated with Hauser & Wirth on the publication of Mark Bradford: Process Collettivo (2024).
