Daniela Russo

After graduating in Architecture from the Polytechnic of Milan in 2013, she became interested in 3D graphics and architectural representation to study the relationships between architectural forms in the conceptual phase. She has been collaborating with Architecture and Design studios, companies, and agencies since 2015, helping to bring their ideas to life through computer graphics. Additionally, she has been a lecturer in 3D modelling and Rendering since 2018, sharing her passion for this field with SUPSI’s Interior Architecture course students. Furthermore, she started teaching at AANT in 2021.

Fabio D’Alessandro

Always attentive to details and images, at 19, he enrolled in a computer graphics course at the Istituto Superiore di Design in Naples, which led him to start working in the field. He began as a graphic designer in a Naples typography company but soon realised he wanted to do more than create flyers. He then continued his studies in Rome and landed his first interview at an advertising agency. After a six-month internship at TBWA as an art director, he joined Saatchi & Saatchi in 2008.

Gabriele Simonetta

He obtained a degree in Architecture from the Polytechnic of Turin and completed a Master’s Degree in Virtual Architecture, where he specialised in 3D technologies. Currently, he works as an independent researcher and consultant for international production companies, focusing on advancing computer graphics through new technological frontiers such as 3D photogrammetry and photorealism in architectural and product visualisation. He has collaborated with renowned design studios, including Renzo Piano Building Workshop, and communication studios like Neiko Srl, Iceberg, and Life Circus. He has also been a speaker at various Italian 3D events and has contributed to publications on 3D technologies. Additionally, since 2018, he has been teaching at several institutes.

Roberto Cognoli

He has a Master’s Degree in Environmental Technology Design and is currently a research fellow at the “Eduardo Vittoria” School of Architecture and Design in Ascoli Piceno. His research interests focus on computational design and digital fabrication, particularly sustainability and circularity. He is involved in parametric and computational modelling, robotic manufacturing, additive manufacturing of cement mixtures, and applying augmented reality systems for modelling and creating reversible elements and construction systems using recovery materials. He has authored numerous scientific publications and co-founded an innovative startup specialising in 3D printing concrete with recycled aggregates.

Jacopo Marchini

Growing up with a photographer father, Jacopo started his first photoshoot during his first year of high school. From that moment on, photography became a part of his daily life. He debuted as Director of Photography in 2015 and in 2022, he was the director of photography for his first film, a production that took place between Cinecittà and New York. He had the immense honour of illuminating the Oscar winner Mariel Hemingway. Jacopo is also very active in the music sector, collaborating with major international labels such as Sony Music, Warner Music, and Universal Music. He has worked with many big names in the national and international music scene, including Ultimo, Renato Zero, Il Volo, Marco Mengoni, Alessandra Amoroso, and many others.
