Giovanni Alberti

I’m Giovanni Alberti, also known as Gio Alberti — the name I often use to sign my work.
I’m an award-winning illustrator and artist living and working in Trieste, Italy.
After graduating in sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, I developed my artistic work especially in the field of drawing and illustration. In 2016, I obtained a master’s degree in editorial illustration at Mimaster in Milan. I work both for private commissions and in the editorial sector.
Clients include: The Observer, The New Statesman, Boat International Magazine, Harper’s Magazine, Courrier International, Harvard Law Bulletin, Amherst Magazine, Smith Alumnae Quarterly.
In addition to these and other collaborations, I keep alive an independent artistic production, exhibiting at various group exhibitions and fairs both in Italy and abroad.
My work has been recognized multiple times by American Illustration.

I am represented in Italy and the European Union by the illustration agency YOONIK.
