He is also a college professor of Communication Theory, Semiotics, Media Culture, Aesthetics and Writing for Film and TV.

Born to a middle-class family in São Paulo, he was brought to Rio de Janeiro as an infant. He is the adopted son of Octavia Carolina (pianist), the daughter of an Italian immigrant, and Paulo (lawyer), the son of a traditional family in Rio. Rogério left Rio in 1974, following his family and spent the two years in the little city of Areal, state of Rio de Janeiro, on a small farm. The family moved to Niterói, neighboring city of Rio de Janeiro, when he was in his teens.

In the farmland, he learned to listen to the silence and agonize with loneliness. The escape was writing. According to him, there were poor quality texts that he insisted in destroying when he still was a teenager. At the same time, he read Brazilian classic books for the young. In Niterói, he took a passion for theater, poetry and music.

He graduated in journalism from Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in 1985. He worked as a reporter and editor for newspapers and magazines between 1985 and 1994. In this last year, he joined the Masters Course on Brazilian Literature from the Rio de Janeiro State University. In 1997, he worked at TV Globo as a screenwriter. Finally, in 2004, he revoked his contract as employee, however he continued to work as a freelancer documentary filmmaker for Globo, while starting his academic career.

Nowadays, he is a professor and spends his scarce free time writting novels, plays and poetry.

The writer Rogério Sacchi de Frontin wrote the supernatural romance "Tainted Odete" in Portuguese. He launched the book in Portugal and in Brazil by Portuguese publisher Chiado and also an e-book written in Portuguese by Amazon.com. The return, he said, was good, but not enough. According to him, the English language has the potential to greatly increase the number of readers in the story of the slave girl who goes through the time portal to promote an ancestral revenge.

Rogerio is developing projects of two novels: another supernatural romance and a suspense novel. At the same time, he is writting vampire poems.

Today he lives in the city of Petrópolis, founded by Emperor Dom Pedro II. This city is located in the mountainous region of the State of Rio de Janeiro, with very mild climate.
