Illustrator with a soft spot for anthropology, peculiar animals and interesting stories. Born in Sardinia, living in Milan, missing the sea all the time.  My name is Roberta Ragona but it’s way easier to find me as Tostoini.  My experience in  illustration ranges from picture books and editorial to museums set-ups, educational materials, brand communication, advertising, websites, apps, to graphic recording and visual facilitation. I have a penchant for non-fiction illustration and a silly sense of humour.  I love projects where is possible to tackle very serious topics with a certain lightness, and light and silly things explored with absolute seriousness. My illustrations have appeared in books published by Aboca Kids, Albero delle Matite, Effequ, Quinto Quarto, Sperling & Kupfer and in a lot of other places that are not books. 

If you happen to stumble on one of my illustrations online i’m fairly certain it’s going be one of a manatee. It’s a whole thing, keep exploring if you’re curious.
