LEONARDO SONNOLI, MANY PARTICOULAR SIGNS

Life of many men can simply be told by drawing lines on a map, so as to define a plot of paths and mark the borders of a new territory, where places are also performances of life's events, never before met, but lined up on a unique temporal plane. At the same way, Leonardo Sonnoli's professional and private life can be simply narrated by setting up connections of some cities, which has made him grow up as a man and a designer, in return for leaving a strong mark in himself. Trieste, a city at the boarding line between Italy and Slovene, where he was born and breathes an important graphical tradition, marked by several striking personalities, such as Dudovich and Metlicovitz. Urbino, proud and precious city of Reinaessance, where he is nourished with its beauties and he studies at Isia, the Institute founded by Albe Steiner. Moreover, Michele Provinciali and Alfred Hoenneger become his masters. Once again Trieste, where he works and forms himself in Paolo Tassinari and Pierpaolo Vetta's studio, with whom he founds CODEsign in 2002.
