Description

This striking magazine cover portrait features professional athlete Sandro Tonali captured in high-contrast black and white photography. The dramatic low-key lighting emphasizes texture across his face, set against a dark background with white typography including the U Repubblica masthead. Styled for the U Repubblica #7 2025 covers project, the image brings together photography by Jack Davison and Paolo Roversi under the art direction of Ben Kelway and fashion direction of Giovanni Dario Laudicina.
