working with Stefano has not only been a pleasure but a very rich collaboration. He and his work are sharp and elegant. One of the best professional experience i've ever had. Look forward to working with him again.
As an Art Director on SAPE, the first book by Spanish photographer Héctor Mediavilla, Stefano has shown amazing skills at creating an innovative and very singular book through his input on external and internal design. I'm very glad that my opinion was later shared by numerous professionals since the book received the Grand Prix du Livre de Mode (Best Fashion Book in France) in 2014.
Stefano is a talented designer who is always available and committed to the book at hand. His sense of design for Art Mao out in December and the Encyclopedia of Islam have been crucial to make these books a success.
Stefano has an aptitude for aesthetics and understanding clients that makes him stand out from the crowd. He pays close attention to what you say during consultation sessions and tries to capture the essence of your requests in his designs. Trustworthy and pleasant to work with, Stefano would be a great hire for any design work !
I was lucky enough to benefit from Stefano's years of expertise in the book publishing world when creating the first edition of my book, Contours. I was impressed by his dedication and belief in the project. His professionalism and availability were important factors in getting the book printed and delivered on schedule. It was clear from the beginning of the project that he had a clear understanding of where I wanted go with the design and as a result, I was very satisfied with the results.
I would highly recommend meeting Stefano if you have a book project in mind.

I've met Stefano in 2007, when I was in need of a web site for my activity. I am a fashion photographer. Stefano answered immediately in an incredible short delay he designed, programmed et put on line a very well done web site. I keep on working with Stefano and Pixmenage because I found exactly what I was looking for: effectiveness, promptness and, with a nice human attitude, he makes things easyer.
I have worked with Stefano in the field of photo CMS consulting. Stefano is a man of his word, he listens carefully and is very openminded upon his own creations, which is very pleasant. He is one of the few who understands the futur of photo business.
