Book cover illustration for Piedad Bonnett's "Quel che non ha nome" ("That which has no name") published in Italy by Codice Edizioni, an autobiographical novel about the loss of the author's son. Instead of going with some sort of conceptual metaphor, I tried to portray the absence of the son through an everyday object like a student uniform laying on a chair.

Book cover illustration for "Il gioco degli opposti" by Françoise Morlupi, a crime novel set in Sofia, Bulgaria. Published in Italy by Salani Editore. Thanks to AD Stefano Izzo!

New book cover illustration for Codice Edizioni: author Ling Ma brings us eight widely different tales of people making their way through the madness and reality of our collective delusions.

Graphic design by Silvia Virgillo/Puntuale.   Latest book cover for Codice Edizioni: "Faune" is a climate fiction set in a near-future world ravaged by climate change. Laura, a biologist, explores a lush and brutal nature, fascinating and terrifying at the same time, which erases the boundaries between humans, animals and the surrounding space.   New book cover illustration for Italian publisher Mondadori. Jef Aerts’ "Mio fratello sa volare" (The Blue Wing) tells the adventure of two inseparable brothers torn between being children and having too much responsibility.
