Mattia Cerato

Mattia Cerato was born in 1986 in Cuneo, Italy,  where since he was a child he spent his days doing what he liked most, drawing gnomes, knights and pirates! Once he grew up he attended the IED in Turin, where he fell in love with children’s illustration. He published his first books abroad, where he began working with MB Artists in New York, a collaboration that continues to this day. Between the creation of one book and another he spent a year in Berlin, where he came into contact with a lively community of creatives, before returning to Turin and later to his hometown Cuneo. When he is not drawing he loves to travel the world, take a nice bike ride up the hills  or play with his daughters Vittoria and Delia, his biggest fans.

Over the years he has worked for Auzou, Editions Lito, Giunti, Mondadori, Emme Edizioni, Fabbri, Gribaudo and various other clients around the world.
