After deciding not to pursue a military career, he enrolled in the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Naples "Federico II", where he graduated in 1991. Subsequently, he moved to Paris, where he undertook a path of literary growth, working simultaneously as a lecturer in Italian. Between 1995 and 2000 he was artistic director of Paso Doble magazine.

In 2011 he published the novel Anybody searches anybody (Chiunque cerca chiunque) in a limited edition of 200 copies. The book is the final phase of an original literary journey, which started with a series of installments on Facebook, and then turned into a journey of delivery de visu of personalized copies to each of the readers. The book collects episodes of his Parisian experience, and has become a small literary case, attracting the attention of the press.Lorenzo Mazzoni Il lato dandy della "non-editoria".

In 2013 he published for the types of Laterza Paris, without passing from the start (Parigi, senza passare dal via), in which he took up the theme of urban travel in a Paris whose streets intertwine, between the unexpected and the probabilities, as Monopoly boxes.A La salute in comune Francesco Forlani presenta il libro "Parigi, senza passare dal via".

In 2015 comes out The comunist dandy manifesto (Manifesto del comunista dandy), for the types of Miraggi Edizioni and homonymous of a previous book of 2007. It is about the amused and sometimes hallucinated anatomy of an imaginary and chimerical figure, straddling the left of the people and decadent elegance.Lorenzo Mazzoni Il 'Manifesto del comunista dandy' di Francesco Forlani.
