Vittoria Alata Brescia 2020
Brescia gets ready to welcome back the restored Vittoria Alata statue, one of the most relevant artwork from Roman Empire age and an iconic symbol of the city. The visual identity helps gathering together all the events that will follow Vittoria’s journey in the next couple of years, and relies on a series of illustration drawn from 3D interpolations of two-dimensional cutouts.

Vatican Chapels
The Holy See makes its debut at the International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia 2018. The Pavilion, in San Giorgio Maggiore Island, hosts ten contemporary chapels designed by world-class architects with a common reference in mind: the Skogskapellet by Erik Gunnar Asplund in Stockholm cemetery. The catalogue, structured as a manual and grown at the same pace of the chapels construction, presents all the processes behind the design of the Pavilion.

Colosseo. Un’icona
The Colosseum tells its own story in this all-round exhibition: from painting to architecture, from movies to politics, the monument has become a symbol of eternity and power, civilization and culture. The graphic identity is an accurate visual transcription of the title, that refers to the building’s footprint to embrace all the iconography of the Flavian Amphitheater. The mark transforms into a mirror wall that reflects visitors at the entrance of the exhibition, while in the background the monument itself remains the protagonist.

State of the Net
The identity for State of the Net, an annual conference about the state of the art of the internet and its impact on society, relies on variations upon geometric grids as metaphor for the ever-changing online world. A basic typeface gets interpreted, blurred, stretched and then animated every year, according to the annual main topic (consequences, facts and algorithms).

AGI Congress São Paulo special project
“What comes to your mind when you think about Brazil?” This was the question asked in the AGI Congress São Paulo special project brief. Every AGI member was asked to design its own poster and also to invite a designer of their choice. After Paolo Tassinari’s invitation, this was the result: a cyan+yellow offset halftone vision of the multi-layered Brazilian culture.

Foto/Industria 2015
The identity of 2015 Foto/industria, the photography biennial promoted by MAST Foundation in Bologna, was based on the iterated transformation of their bespoke typeface. The result was a new spinning alphabet, inspired by the industrial gearwheels, that connoted every piece of communication of the festival.
