Ghirigori is an agency for illustrators, cartoonists, and picture book authors.
I represent illustrators for commissioned projects, with a particular focus on the cultural sector.
For cartoonists and picture book authors, I support book projects through every stage of the publishing process — from the initial concept and editorial development to pitching publishers, contract negotiation, royalty review, and the sale of foreign rights.

I first began working in the publishing industry in 2008 after completing a degree in communications. I worked in publicity for six years in Italy for the Milan-based publishing group Mondadori. After that, I spent three years working as a foreign rights agent with an international literary agency in Paris. Eager to focus more fully on supporting the work of illustrators and authors, in 2018, I co-founded Amaca Agency, before launching Ghirigori in 2021.
