Stefano Cipolla
A course by Stefano Cipolla
Stefano Cipolla is a journalist and art director at the weekly magazine L’Espresso. Although he originally enrolled to study political science, his life-long love of images helped him discover his passion for design, which he decided to pursue at a private graphic design school instead. After several years at an agency, he shifted to freelance work, producing books and magazines, designing exhibitions, and creating ads for brands and events.
Since then, he's worked for different magazines and newspapers such as Il Manifesto, La Repubblica, and L’Espresso, where he's held the position of art director since 2018. He spent 12 years teaching history of graphic design and infographics at the IED in Rome and currently teaches editorial design at the Scuola di giornalismo in Urbino. He also gives lectures and runs workshops at Mimaster in Milan and the IED in Turin.
