Pratiche, linguaggi ed estetiche del movimento ultras cosentino is a thesis project that investigates the cultural relevance and potential enhancement of Cosenza’s ultras movement through the analysis of its history, visual language, and a series of interviews with different representatives of the ultras scene.

The research culminates in the creation of the archive “IN GINOCCHIO MAI” and the scarf “Eternamente Cosenza”, conceived as a tool to preserve and communicate this collective identity. The entire project is typeset in LL Bradford (Lineto). The book features a curated selection of photographs, newspaper scans, ultras’ memorabilia, and other archival materials.

The scarf “Eternamente Cosenza” represents the quintessential symbolic artifact of organized fandom.

It is conceived not as a mere merchandising item, but as a design synthesis of the historical analysis, communicative languages, and graphic solutions that have characterized the Cosenza ultras movement. By converging history, languages, signs, and symbols, it transforms this object into a true narrative work.

The archive takes the form of an editorial publication that collects and organizes the visual and material elements of the Cosenza ultras movement into five categories: photography, scarf, sticker, ticket, and document.

The artifacts, produced at different historical moments, engage in a dialogue through graphics, typography, colors, and symbols, creating a layered reading made of affinities and contrasts.

Viva il cinema! is an initiative of free film screenings promoted throughout the territory of Rome Capital. The brief called for a visual communication campaign to promote the event and widen its reach to a broad audience.

The visual identity is built on four hand-painted watercolor matrices depicting iconic elements of cinematic language: the camera, popcorn, film reels, and the clapperboard. After high-resolution scanning, the artworks were arranged on a dedicated layout grid, and the poster was completed with a logo and a color palette that evokes sociality, a summer atmosphere, and the architecture of the screening venue.
