Since I really can' t tell something about myself, I asked Giovanni Zattera, a good friend of mine, to write a couple lines about me. So here they are:

"Alberto Chimenti Dezani was born in Turin in 1988, which is at the same time the best and the worst place a creative mind could be born in: there, nothing had already been done so the opportunities were many, but people didn' t always welcome innovative ideas with open arms. For this reason in Turin he had the occasion to test and improve his skills in several contexts.
In 2001 he started his path from skateboarding, or better said, it was skateboarding that chose him. This activity gave him the chance to develop his first project; he began to shoot and edit videos and short films until he set up his own production: Problematic Entertainment. Through the years Problematic grew mature and became well-known, which led Alberto to expand it to other areas such as music and photography, making his creation as polyhedral as possible. In 2008 Problematic won the award for the "Best Italian Skateboarding Video" at the SkateMap awards, with the short-film "Non e' Sempre Domenica".
At the same time he undertook the management of the main skateshop in Turin, Skateboarding' s Finest. He created a new image for it worrying about always keeping it updated about all the innovations from the world of international skateboarding. In order to do this, Alberto traveled around Europe and yearly attended some of the most important fairs concerning streetwear and skateboarding such as Bread & Butter and Bright Tradeshow.
Right now he's studying graphics and advertising at IAAD, looking forward to his degree. Ever since he was eighteen he showed a certain aptitude to work and professional relations. For this reason after this course of study nothing is really going to change: the frantic rate of his life is already more similar to a professional' s one than to the life of a student. Anyway this doesn' t cause trouble for him, he just doesn' t waste a moment of his life, and he loves it.
