Various magazine covers - Summer / Fall 2020

MILLIONAIRE Spillover Issue
Cover illustration for Millionaire november issue. I was asked to create a lettering representing the word Spillover in its economical and psychological sense: the issue is about the positive impact deriving from a chain of virtuous decisions.

VITA School Issue
Cover illustration for September 2020 issue of Vita magazine. The whole issue deals with the restart of the school system during COVID pandemics: best practices, innovative ideas, challenges undertaken by teachers, school directors, educators.
AD: Matteo Riva
Lungarno Sept 2020 – Reinassance
Cover illustration for Lungarno, Florence based free press magazine. Being this the first issue with a regular print run and distribution after three months of lockdown, the cover is dedicated to a city that is trying to get its groove back. I made them start again with a powerful dancer dressed as the Battistero di San Giovanni and a fierce lion of Piazza della Signoria.​​​​​​​

The Milaneser #9
Illustration for the fictional magazine project The Milaneser, a tribute to Milan and a homage to The New Yorker curated by Zetalab in partnership with Illustri and District.
I explored the allure of mistery of art nouveau architecture in Milan.


TaziZine – La Gran Bissa de Milan
Artwork created for Milan zine TaziZine. For this issue, they asked to interpret the most famous heraldic symbol of Milan, the Biscione. The idea for this piece came after seeing an early 900 illustrated magazine depicting dinosaurs in Milan.
Starting frome the idea of large reptiles invading a citu, I decided to merge the heraldic icon with the imagery of KaiJu, the Japanese monster movies, also providing the katakana custom lettering that entitles the piece.

Printlovers #83 – Vinyl Issue
For the #83 issue on Printlovers Magazine I made three illustrations – cover, full page inner cover, last page – about vinyl luxury packaging.
The full page image was printed in 15 color variations, each associated with a different music genre. Each variation was enriched by fluo inks, hot foils and metallic colors.
Art direction: Stefano Torregrossa / Onice Design

The Covent Gardener – Winter Issue
Cover for Winter 2020 Issue of The Covent Gardener: everything is spectacular in Covent Garden , from on-stage shows to real life situations, erudite plays, popular entertainment. Pantomime, opera, street performers, basket carriers. As London is facing a second Lockdown, just like here, this is also meant as a homage to the entertainment field, hoping for a better future.
