«No one would have made a book about me. Coming from the underground mainly means that. I needed to understand what I’ve built and what’s worth carrying forward,» says Ivano Atzori, an artist also known as DUMBO since the 1990s. With the support of C.P. Company, Atzori publishes Presente Continuo, a book of over 350 pages that brings together photographs, texts, and reflections on his personal and creative journey. A work that explores Atzori’s fluid identity and his ongoing dialogue with the present.

Ivano Atzori has been able to bridge the underground and institutions, fashion and counter-culture, helping to transform Milan’s cultural landscape. The project stems from a shared vision with C.P. Company of urban space as a living environment where personal creativity leaves visible and meaningful marks.

Presente Continuo is, above all, an artistic and human journey, collecting voices and testimonies from those who have influenced the author along the way. A reflection on the power of art to interpret the present and generate new perspectives.

The book will be presented on May 29, 2025, at the C.P. Company showroom at Via Galvano Fiamma 18, Milan, with a musical performance by the Sardinian collective Camera Anecoica. It will be available starting May 30 on presentecontinuo.com, cpcompany.com, and at the C.P. Company flagship store on Corso Matteotti 7, Milan.
