In June 2013 Lorenzo Milito and Ruggero Montalto founded 79s. Lorenzo and Ruggero are a dynamic duo of good friends, both born in the summer of 1979. They share a strong friendship and a passion for Rome (their hometown), but also the funny experience of having lived in the Netherlands for quite a while now. Lorenzo is an experienced illustrator and designer, and is the creative soul and arm of 79s. Ruggero has a kaleidoscopic working experience and he is the strategic mind, as well as the trouble-solver of the company.
