Ginevra Giovannoni, known artistically as Rame 13, is a multidisciplinary Italian artist whose work moves seamlessly between urban art, illustration, graphic design, and tattooing. Born in Pisa on November 13, 1989, she began drawing as a child under the influence of her grandfather, a painter, planting the early seeds of her creative path.
Rame 13’s journey is not one of shortcuts. After earning a degree in Philosophy in 2015 in Pisa, she pursued formal visual arts training at the Accademia di Arti Visive in Florence. These dual tracks – intellectual and visual – deepened her approach and laid the groundwork for an art practice rooted in reflection and experimentation. It was during these years that she gravitated toward street art, drawn by its raw energy and public reach.
Since 2016, Rame 13 has established herself in the urban art world, participating in a wide range of national and international festivals such as UPFEST (Bristol), MEETING OF STYLES (Kosovo, Madrid), STREETARTCONCREATE (Helsinki), GRAVITY FESTIVAL (Paris), and many others across Europe. Her murals now live on walls in cities from Milan to Valencia, from Genoa to Lleida.
Her work often blends the surreal and the symbolic. Horned women, moustachioed sailors, fantastical animals, and lush flora populate her imagery, dancing between myth and dream. These stories unfold across various media: from concrete walls to canvas, from paper to skin. Her style is figurative in form, yet abstract in the emotional and symbolic interplay between humans, animals, and plants.
But Rame 13’s practice goes beyond aesthetics. Through collaborations with collectives like ELEKTRO DOMESTIK FORCE, she embraces the mission of Social Art. Her murals aren’t just images – they’re conversations. Her projects often aim to regenerate neglected urban spaces, merging community storytelling with visual language. This participatory, site-specific approach has helped shape her understanding of art as a shared, evolving process.
Her ongoing collaboration with the fashion brand PINKO also reflects her openness to independent and cross-disciplinary projects. Exhibitions in Florence, Rome, Paris, Helsinki, and Valencia have further cemented her presence in both the gallery and the street.
What defines Rame 13 is not just her technical versatility, but a clear, assertive artistic voice that has emerged from years of honest self-reflection. She has crafted an image of female strength – never loud, never arrogant – that redefines femininity through complexity, imagination, and resilience. Her work resists clichés, instead offering a new visual narrative: one where power is quiet but undeniable, and beauty lies in contradiction.
