Erika Polizzi Wins Fidenza Village Contest Inspired by Antonio Ligabue

Erika Polizzi, a 27-year-old Romanian-born, Florence-raised illustrator, has won the 'This is your moment' contest organized by Fidenza Village and curated by Kreativehouse. The competition, held in conjunction with Parma Capitale della Cultura 2020+21 and the major Antonio Ligabue exhibition at Palazzo Tarasconi in Parma (through May 2021), invited creatives to reinterpret Ligabue's imagery digitally. Polizzi's winning entry is a delicate ink drawing digitally colored, blending Ligabue's poetic with playful village elements. She was chosen from 540 creatives across 70 countries. The jury included Rossana Orlandi, Davide Rampello, Simone Sbarbati, Maria Vittoria Baravelli, Camilla Falsini, Michele Guerra, and Francesca Velani. Entries remain visible on Instagram under #FidenzaVillage, forming a virtual gallery. Polizzi studied at the Istituto d'Arte and Accademia in Florence, then completed a Master in Editorial Illustration at Ars in fabula in Macerata.
