Francesco Franchi

I'm a journalist and the deputy creative director of “La Repubblica” Italian leading newspaper. I earned my degree from the Polytechnic University of Milan with a thesis on graphic journalism in daily newspapers, an academic project which turned out to be, over the years, the starting point for a remarkable professional career. I started my career at LeftLoft, during the years in which infographics were becoming more popular in Italy. In 2008 I joined “Il Sole 24 Ore” as the creative director of “IL. Intelligent Lifestyle”, a magazine that won many international rewards for its innovative design. As of 2016 I have been a member of the editorial staff of “La Repubblica”, which I redesigned twice in three years. I'm a member of AGI and I'm the author of several books, including “Designing News” and “The Intelligent Lifestyle Magazine”.
