Matteo was born in sunny Florence Italy, and has been part of the animation industry for the past 20 years.

He started as storyboard artist for the Cartoon Network (Ed,Edd and Eddy), before moving on to traditional animation and later becoming a CG animator. While in videogames he worked at Ubisoft (Prince of Persia, Rayman games) and for Bungie (Halo 3 and Halo Reach). In TV he worked at Lucasfilm on "Star Wars the Clone Wars", and his credits on feature films and VFX movies include "Mune" at Mikros and "Transformers 4" for ILM, among others.

As Animation Director he's worked on the first season of "Vampirina" for Disney Jr., and the "Marvel What If..." series for Marvel Studios.

As a Director, he's worked on 2D music videos, commercials for videogames such a "Forge of Empires", and episodes of Vampirina Season 2.

​Matteo routinely teaches animation all over Europe, most recently at "The Animation Workshop" in Viborg, Denmark.

He’s been nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 2018 for his Animation Direction work on Vampirina and the pitch for his original short film won second place at the "Cartoons on the Bay" festival in 2019.

He's currently working on his own short film. In his spare time, Matteo writes short stories and tries to stay off Reddit.
