In 1961, at the age of 20, Monguzzi started his career at the legendary Studio Boggeri in Milan, one of the leading design and advertising agencies in Italy at that time. Monguzzi recalls an early conversation with Antonio Boggeri, in which Boggeri compared Swiss graphic design with a spider’s web—a perfect geometric construction that was often completely useless. The web performs its function only when invaded by the entangled fly. “It was then,” Monguzzi said, “that my use of type and pictures began to grow towards more expressive solutions.”
