a collection of italian metal logos

Dirty Armada is a book about a lifelong passion. It's my collection of italian metal bands logos, a gathering started when I was 12 years old and that it's not yet over. It's a book full of pure beauty and metal thrill, a visual study of decades of true underground. Thanks to the essays by Marcello Crescenzi and Ezio Sabbotigh we are going to take a further ride into our memories or maybe we'll give a name to the people that helped creating a whole imaginery.

Another Dirty Bunch, an evil mix for Vice Magazine




















I did a "mix tape" for vice magazine last week. It's a mixed compilation around the idea of a Black Bunch, struggling in the dark. Here you can listen and find the complete playlist.
