The birth of the Ants dates back to 1972 when they were born from Fabio's pen, at that time he was just over fifteen years old in high school. Over the years they have become increasingly known thanks to the exhibitions, events and fairs in which Fabio has participated. Initially born just for fun, little by little they became Fabio's real work.
Over time, a company was created behind the Formiche, born to favor the expansion of the product, and it was in 2011 that Art Factory was born.
Art Factory is the company based in Trento that produces and markets "Le Formiche di Fabio Vettori" brand products and manages e-commerce.
"We are a company born from the need to have a commercial division to support Fabio Vettori's graphic studio. Our team is made up of young, proactive people with a desire to do things, helped and coordinated by Fabio Vettori's experience in the world of We are attentive to the dynamics of the market, and we try to constantly propose new or renewed items in the graphics, all this with a view to satisfying the needs and expectations of the customer.
