Overview

Collaborating for years with international publishing houses: Harper Collins, Oxford University Press, Mondadori, De Agostini, Zanichelli, Quarto, Amicus, Kar Ben, Helbing, Loescher...
I got some awards over the years, with "Just so Stories" taking first place in the "Language Learner Literature Award".
With Ecnon, third place in the "Children's Illustration Competition" in 2011.
Also in 2011 and 2014 I was selected for the Annual of the best Italian illustrators.

If your need is a cover or a series of illustrations for your unpublished story I love to read and identify with the story and the characters to whom I pay particular attention. from the first drafts of the characters that are promptly shown to the client I move on to the atmospheres and situations.
I like to have a friendly and mutual trust relationship with the client to bring that extra something that will make his story special.

Some reviews of my latest works here on Reedsy:

Christie's review----"Parang Parang".

Collaborating with Daniele has been a happy dream! He is a brilliant creative and timely communicator.
His illustrations were excellently visioned and drawn. He was able to create a world for our book that was authentic to our characters and the very unique setting. His vivid and textural images have brought our story to life.

It was clear that he took the work very seriously - researching and editing and producing for us with great efficiency!

He has been understanding of changes in timeline and very flexible.

My co-author and I couldn't have hope for a better first try on the Reedsy marketplace!
I would absolutely love to work with Daniele again and I highly recommend his work to others.


Tobi's review----"Chip & Cane running out of Time".

Could not have asked for a better illustrator for my first project! Daniele was very accommodating and punctual with revisions. I am still blown away by his art style. The highlight of working with him was that we finished the project right on schedule!

The pictures were better than I could have hoped, he included the smallest of details to make them personal. I felt like I should have paid him twice what he charges because it was such a wonderful experience wo...
