On this occasion Francesco told us a little about his experience. <\/p>\n

How did you become an illustrator? What is your path? <\/strong>
\nActually I became an illustrator a little by chance, in the sense that I’ve always drawn every day of my life since I remember and even before, but I didn’t think I was good enough to make it a job. I studied Modern Literature and took a different path, then one day one of my drawings was published by mistake in Wired and there I had the doubt that my drawings were not so bad and could become a work. Today, after a few years, they have become so. <\/p>\n

What are the characteristics of your style ? <\/strong>
\nThat’s a good question. Defining by myself the characteristics of my style is not simple, partly because talking about my work is never an easy thing and partly because I really enjoy understanding the opinion and the names that others give to what I do. Some say that I’m geometric, some say that I’m pop, the most incredible definition they gave in an interview defining my style “vaguely Aztec”, which is an exceptional thing that I still remember. I work a lot on symmetries and with simple shapes, I have a real passion for color.<\/p>\n

Do we know that in addition to being an illustrator you are committed to spreading and protecting the culture of illustration? <\/strong>
\nWorking as president of Illustri and Illustri festival is a demanding but extremely stimulating work because it is necessary to put a light on a scene of Italian illustration. This scene is incredibly lively and has awards around the world but needs to have a spotlight pointed on itself to tell, even in this country, how good are the Italian illustrators. <\/p>\n

What would you recommend to a young aspiring RUFA designer? <\/strong>
\nTo a young aspiring illustrator\/designer in RUFA I would recommend 2 things:
\n1 – to open a vat number, because it is important to be a professional and be one from day one;
\n2 – to draw, to draw, to draw. It’s when you’re done, draw again, because only with practice you can get results that make sense and are satisfactory.<\/p>\n
