Francesco Vezzoli creates cover art for Fedez's album Disumano

Francesco Vezzoli has designed the cover for Fedez's new album Disumano, continuing his collaboration with the Ferragnez family. The cover features a double marble bust titled Il Narcisista Pessimista, depicting Fedez in black and white, with one figure leaning to kiss the other, which recoils in disgust. The album is set for release on November 26, 2021, with pre-orders starting November 2. The artwork will be auctioned, with proceeds benefiting a project related to the album, though details remain undisclosed. Vezzoli's work draws on classical sculpture, as seen in his recent projects: Francesco Vezzoli in Florence, a monumental lion crushing a 2nd-century Roman head unveiled in Piazza della Signoria in early October, and Il complesso di Edipo at Trinity Fine Art in London during the city's art week. The latter focused on Baroque sculpture and a double bust that likely inspired the album cover. Vezzoli cites Baroque, classical sculpture, Greek mythology, parental bonds, and psychoanalysis as inspirations.
