Federico lives in Rome and has been telling stories through drawing for as long as he can remember.

 

He has worked in Italy as an author, designer, screenwriter and illustrator for Mondadori, Becogiallo, LeviathanLabs, Bugs Comics, Bonelli, Rai, Mediaset, HeavyMetal Magazine, PlanetaDeAgsotini and Skybound.

 

He currently paints covers for the Spawn Universe and he's the interior artist for the upcoming series Knights vs Samurai, written by actor David Dastmalchian and produced by Todd McFarlane.

 

He loves playing drums, eating pizza and collecting original art.

What was the first comic you bought?

My father bought me my first comics (Mickey Mouse and cult Lee-Kirby Marvel) The first one I bought for myself was Wolverine, from the beginning of the Steve Skroce run. It was right after the release of the first X Men movie in theaters. I was a little child in love with Logan!

Favourite character to draw?

I'd say Spawn, Hellboy, The Thing, Dr Doom... oh, and Two-Face! In general I love drawing monsters and villains.

Biggest artistic influences?

I grew up looking at american comicbooks in the early 2000s (Jim Lee, Greg Capullo, Romita Jr.) and lots of manga (Toriyama, Samura, Kishimoto) before discovering all the European and South American masters. Right now, for interiors, I'd say Mike Mignola, Jorge Zaffino, Alberto Breccia and Dino Battaglia. For painted works I think Dell'Otto, Maleev and Alex Ross but I also love and study great painters from the past like Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Bocklin.

Favourite convention snack?

Pizza for sure. No food beats pizza anywhere in time and space.
