One of the few who have actually visited and explored nearly all the (currently known) mysterious places on Earth, he has conducted and participated in several risky expeditions and adventures to the most remote corners the planet -54 countries ...and counting- in search of the mysterious in his quest to uncover the Truth. Traveling hundreds of thousands of miles, seeking out strange archaeological artifacts and monuments which will further strengthen his research. Over the years he has gained first-hand access to photograph and measure ancient artifacts and archaeological relics not currently accessible to the general public. His scientific study includes detailed analysis of ancient scriptures, drawings, artifacts and mysterious archaeological monuments, that has uncovered strong supporting evidence for the Ancient Astronaut Hypothesis.

His numerous articles have appeared in national and International publications.
For over 12 years, Giorgio has been the Director of Erich von Daniken's official international research organization, Center for Ancient Astronaut Research (A.A.S.

R.A. is determined to prove, using scientific research methods, but in "layman's terms, " as to whether or not Extraterrestrials have visited Earth in the remote past. Giorgio is the official representative for Erich von Daniken in the United States and the rest of the English-speaking world.

Giorgio is of Greek and Austrian descent and is fluent in five languages: English, German, French, Italian, and Greek and proficient in Spanish. He grew up in the little town of Laufenburg, Switzerland, spending summers in the Greek Islands, and winters in Innsbruck, Austria. He was educated at Institut Montana an international boarding school in the heart of Switzerland near the Alps (It's wonderful! Check it out!)

Giorgio created and publishes the only, and definitive Ancient Astronaut research journal, Legendary Times Magazine, jam-packed with exclusive articles written by leading researchers, none of which appear anywhere else. And in 2005 he opened Legendary Times Books, an Independent Online Ancient Astronaut / Ancient Mysteries bookstore. Controversial. Refreshingly
