I would like to mention Bruno Brunetti, born in '52, a Roman known not only in his homeland but also in Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Spain, and Turkey. His illustrations have also reached across the ocean, specifically in Brazil and the States.

This illustration refers to "Thomas Blackshear."
I am particularly drawn to his "semi-nudes" like this one

titled "L'Esuberante," as well as the others he signed with the pseudonym Eugenio Sicomoro,

He has received recognition including the “Betty Boop” Award in '87, the “Cesar” in '93, the “Soleil d’Or” in 2002, and the “Buc en Bulles” in 2015 as the best illustrator.
