Mr Whimsy and the pink truck

In a quiet little town named Lioncastle, there was a mysterious pink truck known as the "Sweet Cadorina Express." The truck was adorned with a cute, funny face painted on its front, and on its sides, the words "Cake Party" were written in whimsical letters accompanied by delightful drawings of ice cream cones and slices of cake…

A poem for Tokyo

In Tokyo's vibrant streets, a tapestry unfolds,

Street Photography: #17 I'm not Helmut

It doesn't happen every time to spend a day photographing inside a castle, especially in a 15th century castle. Normally I wander through the streets of some small town in search of a curiosity, an unprecedented scene, a curious moment, or even just a small slice of everyday life, enhanced by a surprising play of light…

Street Photography: #15 Biennale Venezia - Architecture

In a context characterised by ever wider political divergences and ever greater economic inequalities, we ask architects to imagine spaces in which we can live generously together: together as human beings who, despite growing individuality, wish to connect with each other and with others, especially in the digital and real world; together as new families in search of more diversified and dignified living spaces…

Street Photography: #8 City Life

I went for the very first time in my life at City Life only a week ago. Probably I was the only one remaining in Milan who didn’t went in that district yet. CityLife is a residential, commercial and business district, under construction, situated at short distance from the old city centre of Milan, and its a big project with the goal of redeveloping the historic neighbourhood of the Fiera Milano…

This was one of the first pieces I learned with my teacher. The challenge lies in the fact that it lasts almost five minutes, and when you’re just starting out—like I was—you tend to press way too hard on the bass strings. That’s exactly why this piece is such a great exercise: it teaches you not to do that. Otherwise, you won’t make it past four minutes before your left hand starts to hurt.

Watching art collide with limitations—and overcome them through skill and technique. That’s the mastery that has always fascinated me about video games

I'm butchering it, sorry Flea and sorry real bassists out there. At least, pushing it for the last two months made me able to play it. Its far from perfect, there's are indecisions and imprecisions along the way, but still a small milestone for me :D

On December 11th, 2025, we had the incredible fortune of premiering our first trailer at The Game Awards, thanks to Geoff Keighley. From that moment on, a lot changed. The trailer was a great success. I will never stop being amazed at how much a developer’s life can change when players show their support. It’s truly powerful — in every sense.
