L’ETÀ DELL’ADOLESCENZA
THE AGE OF ADOLESCENCE
During adolescence everything changes and shakes. It’s a continuous reversal of emotions that sends you into a tailspin. Growing up is this, turning the world upside down almost as a game, looking for the impossible.

IN TRIESTE
Series of illustrations describing moments of daily life in Trieste and published by In Trieste Magazine. The original series was made during the days of the pandemic and people were almost always wearing masks.
In 2023 I decided to create a second version of some scenes by simply removing the masks, to show how the everyday life of certain moments has remained unchanged over time.
The first version of The World of Books was selected for the American Illustration 40th Annual Award Book.

COVID JOURNAL
During the lockdown I started a collaboration with the New York based artist Peggy Roalf.
Together we have created a “creative dialogue” based on the visual and emotional suggestions that emerged in those difficult days.
The project is called Covid Journal and the illustrations make up a virtual gallery on IG under the hashtag #alberti_roalf_covidjournal.
