Scacchiere e Scacchisti is the new editorial project of Studio Tonnato, the collective composed of Federico Leoni and Giordano Magnani. The duo is present on the scene of recent contemporary art, particularly linked to art experienced and interpreted through the filter of digital, and operates through installations, performances, events, prints and the internet.
The magazine is described by its creators as “pages of pure enjoyment, lots of friends, lots of piles, lots of (mad) chess”.

Scacchiere e Scacchisti is the sexiest chess magazine around, don’t you believe it? Spread pages, the eye that falls and the mouths that dry. A hot program. Are you ready to enter its soft belly? A cultural product that reflects on the scabrous and often censored theme of “chessboards”. A hidden world to get lost in. Thanks to the cultural raid of Natasha Ottavi, strong muse and refined chess player, and to many collaborations, we are ready to present you a paper golem that moves in an “L” and loses blood. Chess as you’ve never seen it.
