The Founders


Emily
CEO
Director of Logistics
I've worked for many years as a papercrafter designer, craft teacher and shop assistant for DIY stores. In 2017 I put to good use these experiences when we launched Ciao Bella, but I had no idea what was in store. For sure I didn't expect to be getting such a quick positive response from the public. Working together is an amazing journey that I feel grateful to be part of.

Luana
Director of Design
Chief Graphic Designer
I've been working for years for companies in the field of advertising, marketing, art and craft and, when I decided to start the Ciao Bella adventure, I didn't look back and I jumped in this wonderful opportunity! Now I spend my days working directly with talented artists, creative people and I bring my creativity and my graphics all over the world.


Antonio
Director of
Print Production
Paper and ink flow through my veins. I come from a family of printers and publishers who have always been involved in letterpress printing and luxury book editions. I met the founders of Ciao Bella in 2017 which marked the beginning of a beautiful collaboration that has evolved into a real branch of my advertising company. For me it is a real pleasure to believe in this dream and to share our products all over the world!

Stephane
Director of Import Export Management
For over 20 years I had a career as import-export manager for Italian companies and I was responsible for the production quality in Asia. I have lived in many parts of the world, including over 11 years in Thailand, 2 years in Spain, 5 years in Paris, France, and currently in Belgium. In 2018 I met Ciao Bella and it took me little time to know this was the kind of company I wanted to work with. Since then I'm senior import-export manager for this great team of creative women. No regrets!

Elisabetta
Director of
Warehouse Operations
I've always been passionate about books and paper, so much so that I have discussed a thesis at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures on the ancient manuscripts in Old High German preserved in monasteries. I was able to fulfill my dream with my job, where every day I see new paper projects being created. I'm in charge of Ciao Bella's paper collections production and director of warehouse operations, tasks enhanced with new challenges every day due to CB's management dynamism!

Eleonora
Social Media
Manager
When I think about my role in CiaoBella I don’t see myself only as the Social Media Manager, even if it’s the most visible profile from the outside. During this time dealing with the communication inside and outside the company I discovered myself a little bit psychologist, showgirl and of course social media manager! But I’ll tell you something about me: I’m graduate in Communication Studies, ICT and Media, I’m very fond of art and literature, so I feel quite good in CiaoBella’s environment and, meanwhile, I’m studying Modern Language and Literature because, you know, you are never too old to learn something new!


CHIEF ILLUSTRATOR
Pierpaolo
"I'm a multi-purpose artist. I specialize in the artistic processing of wood, ceramics, iron, stone, and in airbrushing, especially for motorcycle helmets. From here the step to became a professional tattoo artist was short. As illustrator, improving the use of Photoshop, over the years I turned to be a digital artist, creating a large number of artistic illustrations in the advertising industy, up to the meeting with Ciao Bella in 2019, starting a partnership I'm very proud of."
