Špecializuje sa na modelovanie postáv, tvorbu textúr (reálnych povrchov) tieňovanie v 3-D, a vo svojej oblasti je preukázateľne jedným z najlepších v priemysle. Alessandro začínal ako operátor počítačom podporovaného dizajnu (CAD) pracujúci pre firmu, pred tým, ako sa dostal k návrhom pre herný svet v pozícii všeobecného 3-D grafika pre spoločnosť Milestone, ktorá je jedným z najväčších miest na vývoj hier v Taliansku. Od jeho prvých experimentov so softvérom uplynulo takmer dvadsať rokov a teraz modeluje postavy v Riot Games. V minulosti mal príležitosť pracovať aj pre iné renomované spoločnosti, ako Blur Studio a Games Workshop. Dnes je s nami, aby nám povedal niečo málo o jeho ceste, a o jeho plánoch do budúcnosti.
