Mattia started experimenting with Flash in 2009, when he realised Santa wasn’t going to bring the imaginary games he asked for.
To his surprise, he enters the finals of the Independent Games Festival 2011 with his “One and One Story”, a platform game about love which used game mechanics to tell its narrative.

He then went on to release Xbox One’s 2016 highest rated exclusive “FRU”, an experimental puzzle game which was awarded a 9.5 from Destructoid and retains an 84 average on Metacritic.
His journey then lead him to Ovosonico, where he took the role of Lead Designer on “Last Day of June”, a narrative title in collaboration with Grammy-nominated Steven Wilson and 505Games, publisher of “Brothers” fame.
A frequent speaker at GDC and Codemotion, Mattia has been featured on Business Insider, VICE, Engadget and most of the gaming media at large.

He’s also a fan of baby hippos.
