Biografia      

Lorenzo Mattotti was born in 1954.

After studying architecture, he decided to devote himself to comics and is recognised today as one of the most outstanding international exponents of this art.

His works have been published in the most important magazines and his books are translated all over the world.

Beginning with Il signor Spartaco, L'uomo alla finestra, Stigmate, Linea fragile, Fires, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, and many other works, and continuing with Angkor, Il rumore della Brina, and Murmur, published by Penguin Books in 1993, Mattotti's work has evolved with a constant coherence, though always within the eclectic tradition of those who have the courage to be innovative.

For children he has illustrated Pinocchio by Collodi, The Pavilion on the Links by Stevenson and has published Eugenio which won the Grand Prix of Bratislava in 1993.

Mattotti has also worked in the fashion world, reinterpreting the models of the most famous fashion designers for Vanity magazine.

He has carried out advertising campaigns and has illustrated the cover of such magazines as The New Yorker, Le Monde and Suddeutsche Zeitung.

In 1995, the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome and The Frans Hals Museum in Harlem dedicated an anthology to him.

He has created many important posters: Cannes 2000 - Lire en Fête and La Marie de Paris.

Recently he worked on the Film, Eros, by Soderbergh, Antonioni and Wong Kar Way, handling the introductory segment of each episode.

In 2005, his work is being exhibited in Modena, Paris and Milan.
