He briefly studied cinema and literature, but soon abandoned them in favour of odd jobs which would prove tremendously inspirational for his future works. He started writing in the late 1980s, publishing noir fiction which quickly gained a cult following. Later, he also wrote more mainstream novels, which brought him massive success. These include Someone Else (2001), which tells the story of two thirtysomethings who throw themselves into the challenge of living the life they have always dreamed of, and Saga (1997), which follows the adventures of four screenwriters who are exiled after writing a TV soap opera.
Benacquista also works as a screenwriter, comic book author, and on the adaptation of some of his novels for the cinema. His much-anticipated latest novel, Homo erectus (published in English as The Thursday Night Men), was published in 2011 to instant commercial and critical success.
