About

Panfilo Tàgora was born in 1959, on a day of restless sea and prophetic skies. He grew up among waves and shadows, learning early that reality is but one of many possible threads. A left-ear earring and a mysterious tattoo were the first signs of an unusual path: walking the fine edge between science and enchantment, reason and symbol.
Doctor by choice, alchemist by nature, Panfilo practiced the art of healing between the order of the clinic and the nomadism of life at sea. In both worlds, he learned to read the hidden signs of body and soul, weaving official science with subtle practices—pursued not by trend, but by intuition. Because true knowledge is always an imperfect mosaic.
In 2021, at a crossroads seemingly orchestrated by invisible forces, he left medicine. That choice, soaked in pain and hope, led him to writing. The page became his new lab; the reader, his secret interlocutor. He writes to defuse reality, unhinge its certainties, and open gateways beyond the visible.
In his stories—where realism bends and renews into a magical dimension—one hears echoes of Borges, Calvino, Cortázar. Yet the voice is unmistakably his: lyrical, ironic, perceptive. Each tale is an invitation to get lost with intent, to wander as creative act, to seek without expecting answers.
He now lives on a Greek island, attuned to the sea and the myths that still inhabit it. His writing is made of mirrors and labyrinths, of star maps and everyday fragments, of whispering shadows. His name—Panfilo Tàgora—is not just a signature, but a quiet incantation for those willing to cross the threshold.
