Biography
Falcomatà was born in Reggio Calabria on 8 October 1943. He completed his secondary schooling at the Liceo classico Tommaso Campanella and later studied humanities at the University of Messina. His thesis studied the relationship between the Corriere di Calabria and public opinion during World War I.
Falcomatà taught Italian and history at the ITT “Panella-Vallauri.” He later taught contemporary history both at the Università per stranieri "Dante Alighieri" and as part of the University of Messina’s Faculty of Political Science from 1992 to 1993.
Falcomatà’s studies in history led him to doing further research on the role of the bourgeoisie in the period of the “great depression” of the South in the 1970s. He published several works related to the topic, including Giuseppe De Nava, a conservative southern reformist, which earned him a Premio Sila in 1978.
