Eccetera
Manifesto
Words are important. Printed on the cover of a magazine, typed on a smartphone keyboard, jotted on a notepad. Written, heard or just thought
That’s why we founded Eccetera, a studio where words and sentences are chosen carefully and honed with the acumen of experience into their ideal form. We conceive and create customized publishing projects for companies, producing magazines, books, catalogues, press kits, blogs and web sites. We do it with the skill and experience we’ve gained working for top national publications and luxury brands. Etcetera is a word we say often. And it’s also our philosophy. It means “and all the other stuff”, all the rest, and so forth. For us, it also means not limiting ourselves. Going further. Telling stories, about places, businesses, journeys. Etcetera.

Who we are
Ilaria Maggi
I’ve always felt pulled towards creativity and the infinite ways of expressing it, since I did my first photo shoot at the age of eight: Barbies were my models. Then I found my path in writing. As a professional journalist, I specialize in brand journalism and have planned content marketing strategies from initial briefing to “ready for press”. I love composing with words, so I also do copy and ghost writing.
Gaia Passi
A professional journalist with a master’s degree in the Culture and History of the Publishing System, after having cut my teeth as a crime reporter, I discovered that I prefer stories with happy endings; since then, I’ve written about lifestyle, fashion, design and food for Vogue Italia, AD Italia and other top Italian publications. I speak four languages, I travel a lot, and I never tire of asking questions and listening to stories.
Margherita Tizzi
I was born in Sansepolcro, Tuscany, to globetrotting parents; my father is a painter who passed on to me a passion for art and design. I earned degrees in Media Languages and Art History at the Università Cattolica in Milan. In 2010, I published the book “Piero e Sansepolcro: il caso della Natività”. Today, I write for D La Repubblica, Vogue Italia and Amica. I’m also Flo Magazine’s editor in chief.
