‘Mass Distraction’: a cartoon about the USA war in Iran
They call them mass distraction techniques!
Impeachment is looming over Trump’s presidency so now he needs a massive war to divert the attention from it.
“Twenty Nineteen”
Here’s to 2019! Fires, crooks presidents, dictators, climate change, strikes, desperate migrants and more and more I couldn’t find space for in my last illustration of the year.
Let’s work for a better 2020! ✨
Interview about satire on L’Adige
I recently had the pleasure of having a nice chat with Giada Vicenzi, journalist of the daily newspaper L’Adige – Quotidiano indipendente del Trentino Alto Adige. We talked about my tiny but fun career within the field of political satire, and about the importance satire has in generating and enhancing political debate.
The outcome was an interesting article, published today on Monitor, the weekly insert of L’Adige!
“The Persistence of Climate Change”

2nd prize at Inktspotprijs 2019!
✨ Yesterday evening I had the honor to win the second prize at the Inktspotprijs 2019, the Dutch award for the best political cartoon of the year, with my cartoon “Man of God, Law of Men” ✨
I’m really happy! NRC, one of the main Dutch newspaper, flattered me describing me as “relatively unknown Italian,” which is quite a fact, journalistically speaking.
Good news is I think yesterday I shook enough hands to be less unknown – although not less Italian, I’m afraid.
