The Nissener

I never missed my hometown like i did during the 2020's lockdown, so I start to look it from the web and I figured out that there was too much beauty untold about it. The Nissener is born to celebrate, show and spread love, tradition and curiosity of Caltanissetta to the whole world. 

What a better way to do it than make a fictitious magazine? I decided to design a cover, along the lines of The New Yorker, for each week of the 2021 to post on Instagram, with the cooperation of the co-founder who still used to live in Caltanissetta.

We found much topics about the city and we transformed 54 of them in illustrations. I designed more than 80% of the covers and written all the captions for the posts. After the first year we decided to open the project to other artists who have given their visual point of view of the city.

In december 2024 we make the first collective exhibition in Caltanissetta and there will be another one in Milan during the spring 2026.
