Not just final wins.

My submission for the San Savino Festival poster competition in Ivrea, my hometown. This time, the winning horse was someone else. Every project is made of attempts, directions, and ideas that don't make it through - but still deserve a place.

These two illustrations were created for the ESPN crime podcast Murder at the U - recounting the murder of Brian Pata. Grateful to the AI-AP jury and special thanks to AD Eric Paul. Choosing a human illustrator - not algorithms - still matters.

A small taste of spring from Cremona, Italy. "Barefoot in the Park" celebrates public spaces, urban nature, and the simple joy of being together. In times that often feel heavy, bringing culture and community feels like a small but meaningful antidote.

Thanks to Compagnia dei Piccoli, Comune di Cremona, and Paolo Mazzini for involving me in this lovely project!

I tried to bring a touch of lightness to the theme of the growing difficulty of finding a partner and building healthy relationships. Alongside the declining birth rate, it feels like one of the clearest signs of a decaying and individualistic society - one that forces us to ask where we are heading.

For this cover of Internazionale, I imagined a distracted Cupid, more focused on his smartphone than on his bow and arrows. Below the final cover, you can see the other two black-and-white proposals.

Thanks as always to Maysa Moroni for the assignment!

The Forte di Fenestrelle as a symbol of the Piedmontese identity: a line of stone rooted in history and rising towards the sky, becoming a bridge between the region's past and a future projected into space.

This is my interpretation for the exhibition Piemonte Beyond Earth, hosted at Palazzo Madama in Turin, Italy, where ten illustrators explore - through the universal language of images - the role of Piedmont in conquest of space. The exhibition catalogue is available through Silvana Editoriale's shop.

Until October 2, the group show "Accade ora. Effetti del cambiamento climatico sulle Alpi" is on view in Domodossola, Italy. For my piece, I chose a pop and colorful language to depict glacier melting and hydrogeological instability, playing with the contrast between visual lightness and the weight of the theme. Living at the foot of the Aosta Valley, I see the tangible effects of global warming year after year.

The Exhibition is part of the Interreg BlitzArt project, curated by Associazione Musei d'Ossola.

It's time to take a clear stand against the destructive policies of the Israeli government. Apartheid, the systematic elimination of a people, forced displacement, and letting children starve - this is humanity at its most brutal.

It seems Israeli leaders have learned little from history, and when history delivers its judgment, I don't want to be remembered as a silent accomplice to genocide. #freegaza

I'm excited to share my poster illustrations for the San Diego Opera's 2024-2025 season, featuring Salome, la Traviata, and la Bohème.
