Eugenio Alberti Schatz was born in Milan to two cultures, Italian and Russian. He has travelled extensively and worked in various fields within communications and public relations. After studying classical literature, he explored multiple forms of literary expression, from writing essays to poetry, from art and photography criticism to travel literature and aphorisms.
He has published for Rizzoli, Skira, Corraini, Blonk, Einaudi and Antiga, among others. He has curated exhibitions by Pino Guidolotti and Luca Quartana at Assab One. He has written about the work of artists Alvaro, Antonio Barrese, Claude Caponnetto, Enzo Castagno, Caturegli Formica, Daniele Cima, Roberto Clemente, Guido De Zan, Paul Goodwin, Dominique Laugé, Simon Lewandowski, Zeno Peduzzi, Mario Pischedda, Alessandro Pongan, Sean Shanahan, Evelina Schatz, Ariel Soulé, Simon Toparovsky, Marco Vaglieri and Eugenio Zanon. He has made documentary films about Eugenio Carmi and scientists Giacomo Rizzolati and Giorgio Parisi. In 2022, together with Anna Golubovskaja, he launched the photography and storytelling project Qui Odessa on doppiozero.com, which became an exhibition at the Fondazione Stelline in Milan in the same year. He has participated in group exhibitions in private galleries and public spaces, including Galleria dei Bibliofili and Galleria Quintocortile in Milan, Libreria Pecorini and Libri senza data in Milan, Vannucci Arte Contemporanea in Pistoia and Palazzo Bentivoglio in Gualtieri.

Sandro Fabbri, painter and illustrator, was born in the hills between Florence and Arezzo and grew up in Florence, where he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts. Now living in Milan, he has worked extensively as an illustrator for publishing, fashion and advertising, collaborating with newspapers and magazines belonging to major publishing groups: Rcs, Gedi, Mondadori, Hachette-Rusconi, Il Sole24Ore and Condé Nast. He has also collaborated with international graphic design studios, including Patricia Urquiola, Lissoni, Centro, Beda Achermann and Granitdesign.
His art book for the fashion brand Ordinary People (with Studio Centro) won the Gold Award from the Italian Art Director’s Club and the Cresta International Advertising Award. At the same time, Fabbri has developed a personal research path in the world of drawing with nibs and brushes, inks, acrylics and pigments, sometimes even tea and coffee. He has explored both large formats, populating his imagination with abstract themes or poetic and symbolic figures, and small formats, creating illustrated notebooks and ironic sketches.
Roots, solitude, love, thought, wonder and fragility are his recurring themes, with fluid brushstrokes and cascades of colour spreading across the paper, evoking landscapes that are more interior than real. A selection of these works is collected in the art book A Secret Adagio (Granitdesign), from which Patricia Urquiola chose the large reproductions for the Hotel Room Mate Collection Giulia di Milan. He participated in solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
