BIO
Nicolò Bruno was born in Milano in 1989.
During his study at Naba Nicolò founded the Artistic group: Collective F84 with some of his Bachelor classmates. The collective aimed to connect art and people, through some experiments of public arts, workshops, and cultural projects.


Since 2013 Nicolò collaborates for MilanoPride, the main LGBTAIQ movement in Milan. He is also the father of the MilanoPride logo.
Nicolò decided to move to Switzerland in 2014 where he began a Master of Art (Visual Communication and Iconic Research) at the FHNW in Basel.
