Born in Italy, Carlo has been always deeply passionate about drawing.
After graduating in Architecture at the Polytechnic of Milan, he chose to further his education attending art and design studies. He collaborated with the premier italian designer Bruno Munari, an amazing experience that influenced his way to see the world.

In September 2020 my first children book - published by MAXXI, Contemporary art Museum, Rome and Raum Italic, Berlin , distribuite by Edizioni Corraini - will be out.
Carlo lives and works in Berlin.
Urban illustration - finding the city identity
I will describe my work in creating illustrations and books about cities. I will show my concepits, technics and approach with a particular reference to Milan, London and New york, my first three illustrated Books for Moleskine, but I will also show other examples. In addition I would like to speak about my inspiration process and the importance to find your personal "daimon" and your unique artistic language.
