Stefano Casini was born in 1958 in Livorno. He is an established author in Italy. After graduating as a mechanical engineer, he attended the Academy of Liberal Arts in Rosignano Solvay and graduated from the Higher Institute for the Artistic Industry in Florence.

His career began in the field of fashion with numerous collaborations, but his great passion were always comic books. He first stepped in this world in the late seventies, when he drew a story for the magazine Hydrogen. In 1980 he met another great cartoonist, Marcello Toninelli at Lucca Comics, who entrusted him with the drawings of two episodes of I ragazzi di Stoner, a series published by Dardo Publishing House. He initially worked for an advertising agency and then for an American multinational company as a graphic designer before jumping to the comic industry.

To date, he has already produced 26 albums of the Nathan Never science fiction series with publisher Sergio Bonelli. In recent years he has followed the path of the complete author by writing the texts of the books he creates, and after some “solo” tests he creates his first series entitled Hasta la Victoria!. In France he published La Espada y la Cruz (The Sword and the Cross) and Mimbreños, two period works full of ambiguous characters that allow the construction of choral stories to which Stefano Casini has accustomed us. Also noteworthy is La cruz sangrante (The Bleeding Cross), continuation and ending of La Espada y la Cruz (The Sword and the Cross).
