Gallo has been a photo journalist since 1967, when he interviewed The Beatles for the Italian magazine "Ciao Big". Inspired by this experience, he left his career as an architecture designer to become the London correspondent for the Italian music weekly "CIAO 2001", covering the events in the English pop/rock scene.
In the early 1970s Gallo met Genesis before their first Italian tour and became a good friend of the band. His most high-profile work is a book about the band entitled Genesis: The Evolution of a Rock Band. Originally published in 1978, it chronicles the band's early days – a period of time never covered by any other biographical source up to that point, including the band members' full names. One notable fan of the book was Bob Marley, who was spotted reading it on the steps of his home in Kingston. The book was reprinted and expanded in 1980 with the new title I Know What I Like. By the early 1990s, after Genesis had reached their peak in popularity, the book was no longer available. As there was no sign it would ever be reprinted, zealous Genesis fans retyped out the text of the book as ASCII text in the early 1990s, but when plans for a reprint were announced, the files were taken down from the internet. In September 2014 the book was published on iTunes.[1] Gallo also went on to put together several books on Genesis founding member Peter Gabriel.
In 1982, with his brother Claudio, he formed Fratelli Gallo Editori in Italy, editing and publishing over 40 music books as well as the monthly magazine PIX Photorock.
Gallo has also directed the U2 music video "Even Better than the Real Thing" from the Achtung Baby album.[2]
