The cover artwork was born from the need to visually represent, using a metaphor, the title of the album, which literally represents the eleven homes changed by Nelson during his whole life; hence the idea of using 11 different real keys, then associated throughout the project to the 11 songs that compose it. For each song there have been created related sketches and drawings which have been used for both for the booklet and merchandise.

Summary of all the artworks and typography works I made for various artists during the 2021/2023 period,
mostly in collaboration with Enrico Dalla Vecchia.
Client: Sony Music Italia
We started from the idea of translating the title of the album, which literally means “from Earth to Mars”, into a visual that symbolized a journey that would take the band members into space. Each track on the album corresponds to a stop on this unconventional and spacey journey.

to brand identities, to artistic direction for different artists in the music industry.
I’m constantly keeping myself updated on graphic design and social media trends, and finding new methods to express my creativity to keep my mind fresh and busy.
I’m mainly interested in streetwear and fashion, Japanese and Italian pop culture, collectibles, training and sports, and art in all its forms.

Staff Meal is a video format created for alfredo, the food magazine powered by Rolling Stone Italia, which aims to unveil curiosities and behind the scenes related to the preparation of their own lunch by the staff of some well-known and particular restaurants (for this first season) in Milan.
Switching from dynamic shots to short interviews with the chefs and the brigade members, we had a taste of the staff meals at JOIA, Motelombroso, Ristorante Berton and Remulass.

As well as it’s done for Rolling Stone Italia, alfredo dedicates cover stories and digital covers to some prominent figures from
the Italian food scene, which we’ve decided to represent and iconify with a pop treatment in line with the identity of the magazine which by definition “eats pop culture”.

For the FW2020 launch of the newest adidas ZX sneaker, we’ve created a series of artworks where lettering design and photography are mixed and intertwined together to celebrate the career of the involved brand ambassadors. Marracash, Fabri Fibra and Charlie Charles, three of the Italian rap game most relevant names at the moment, are the faces of the campaign.
The lettering’s softness and harmony recalls the material characteristics of the shoes sole, while the chosen words are specific quotes related to famous tracks of the artists or their attitude and approach to the musical world.

Retiring the old Stan Smith models to replace them with the new more sustainable ones, is a clear demonstration of the commitment and responsibility that the brand feels towards the future. The best way to demonstrate a change, is to make it visible, so we decided to show the newest Stan Smith’s green footprint through a very simple concept.
The faces of the campaign pose in a completely white everyday scenario, where green, the color of eco-sustainability and main color of the product’s visual identity, is an absolute protagonist.
