Alfredo Del Bene, aka TheAnimismus
Graphic Designer & Illustrator
Born in Campania in 1990, Alfredo Del Bene is a compulsive ink user and a serial paper smudger—an imaginative soul, much like a T-Rex on a rocking horse. His creative journey began in 2016, when he started illustrating for Michelin-starred restaurants, private venues, exhibitions, and events.
In 2017, he joined the IannottiLab team, contributing as an illustrator and communications designer. By 2019, he became both cartoonist and art director for the gastronomic platform Foodclub.it.
In March 2020, he took on the major assignment of art direction and illustration for The Best Chef Awards Virtual 2020, creating over 4,000 illustrations of the world's top chefs. His involvement was instrumental in transforming the event into a successful virtual edition instead of postponing it.
In June 2020, he joined the Florence Cocktail Week as both illustrator and graphic designer.
Over the years, he has expanded into the publishing industry, designing book covers and developing editorial layouts. Alfredo collaborates with communication agencies and PR studios, offering a wide range of services—from illustration and brand identity design to packaging, content creation, art direction, and strategic communication.
A passionate and knowledgeable figure in the world of mixology and spirits, he has worked with numerous brands across Italy, from north to south.more..
