Presente Continuo

(2025)

Traces the creative and personal journey of Ivano Atzori, offering reflections on community, vandalism, antagonism, love and artistic expression.

Presente Continuo is a 350-page visual and narrative journey into the artistic universe of Ivano Atzori — aka DUMBO — created with the support of C.P. Company. This richly illustrated volume weaves together photographs, archival materials, and personal testimonies to explore the complex, cross-disciplinary identity of an artist who has spent over three decades navigating between underground and mainstream, fashion and counterculture.

Active since the early 1990s, Atzori has forged a singular trajectory in which graffiti, fine art, design, and performance collide. His practice—rooted in the subversive codes of the street—has helped reshape Milan’s creative landscape and inspired a generation of cultural actors.

With contributions from friends, collaborators, and critical voices such as Andrea Ceresa, Angelo Flaccavento, Lele Saveri, Sara Sozzani Maino, Paola Zukar, Marcelo Burlon, and many more, the book becomes both an introspective map and a communal memory—testimony to the lasting impact of an artist who has always operated in between systems, disrupting the codes of visibility.
