Ivano Atzori, an artist who has worked across multiple creative fields, is releasing a new book called Presente Continuo. With over 350 pages of photos and writing, the project was made with support from Italian brand C.P. Company. The book acts as a way to explore Atzori’s wide-ranging work and identity.

In his own words, Atzori explains:

“No one would have made a book about me. That’s the honest truth. Coming from what people call the underground means exactly that. I needed to organize what I’ve done, to see what matters and what’s worth keeping. Presente Continuo is about now, always.”

Atzori first became known in the early 1990s under the name Dumbo. His work has connected underground scenes with mainstream culture, blending fashion, art, and countercultural movements. Over the years, he has played a key role in shaping Milan’s creative scene, helping make the city more dynamic and modern.

This partnership with C.P. Company makes sense since the brand has a history of backing cultural projects, and both share an interest in cities as places where creativity happens. For them, urban spaces are where ideas become real, where personal expression leaves a mark on the world.

Presente Continuo documents Atzori’s artistic path while also asking how art can capture the present moment. It includes thoughts from people who have been part of his journey, mixing personal stories with his creative work.

The book is available online at presentecontinuo.com and cpcompany.com, as well as at C.P. Company’s Milan store on Corso Matteotti.
