‘Luogo comune’ which means ‘cliché’ or ‘stereotype’ in Italian is the pseudonym of Jacopo Ghisoni, an illustrator and street artist from Cremona in Italy. As you can tell from his artistic name, his wish, whether on paper or on a wall, is to try and break down stereotypes. In this long journey across the seven seas, through his images, he brings us stories and adventures that are often hidden. Jacopo studied history of art in Milan and now lives and works in Bologna, Italy. ‘Luogo comune’ which means ‘cliché’ or ‘stereotype’ in Italian is the pseudonym of Jacopo Ghisoni, an illustrator and street artist from Cremona in Italy.
