Meet the artists of ITALOAMERICANA: Italian Illustration takes on America

In celebration of the collective exhibit ITALOAMERICANA Italian Illustration takes on America, an intimate conversation with some of the 14 featured artists including Francesco Poroli, and Mauro Gatti.

Italian illustration has a very strong presence throughout America, especially in Southern California where the existence of many creative industries demands a constant flow of fresh and innovative ideas. The ITALOAMERICANA exhibition showcases a selection of fourteen of Italy’s finest illustrators, whose captivating images are already familiar, having been published in major magazines, books, advertising, and packaging in US (The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Paramount Pictures, Google, Nike, Marvel, Taschen and MoMA just to name a few). 

The ITALOAMERICANA exhibition proudly features illustrators: Olimpia Zagnoli (gold medalist at the Society of Illustrators of NYC), Emiliano Ponzi (gold at the ADC in New York), Ale Giorgini (awarded by the Chicago Museum of Design), Francesco Bongiorni (silver medal at the Society of Illustrators of NYC), Gianluca Folì (gold medal at the Society of Illustrators of NYC), Matteo Berton (gold and silver at the Society of Illustrators of NYC), Simone Massoni (silver at the Society of Illustrators of NYC), Mauro Gatti (Emmy Awards 2017), Jonathan Calugi (Young Guns at the ADC in New York), Van Orton, Francesco Poroli, Anna Parini, Irene Rinaldi, Riccardo Guasco.
