Canedicoda is a Milan-based multi-disciplinary artist active in music, performance, design and fashion fields. He developed a rich, personally distinctive universe that is constantly changing but always immediately recognisable. A pivotal figure bringing and spreading to Italy several innovative and liminal currents of artistic, stylistic and musical pursuit, his experience includes a vast number of projects in cooperation with record labels, non-profit spaces, groups and individual artists.

In Milan he created his own atelier/concept store Gabbianacci (2012>14), followed by a series of shot-stores (temporary workshops), a practice still active today.

Since 2018, together with Valentina Lucchetti, he has been active as Edizioni Brigantino, a project focused on furniture design, art and curation.
