Ill Fame magazine first came to life in 1996 as a black-and-white photocopied zine, created to document the vibrant but completely underground graffiti scene in southern Italy. A full-color “issue zero” followed in 1997, featuring walls, trains, and bombing from around the globe.

In 1998, the editorial team dropped a mini EP titled Bboy Guerrieri in collaboration with the independent label THC “Abusive Parking.” Four more issues followed, running until around 2003.

In 2011, a sketch-only volume dedicated to the Ill Fame name was presented at the historic Ulrico Hoepli bookstore in Milan. A fifth issue was in development in 2004, with artist Blu slated for the cover—but as more and more pieces began circulating online, the team decided to hit pause on print.

Now, after an 11-year hiatus—and tired of experiencing art through the fast pace of social media and tiny phone screens—we're back. That’s why we’re calling this new edition N°06 – Reloaded.

This issue is packed with:
– Style writing
– Illustration
– Sketches
– Neo-muralism
– Interviews
– Exhibitions
– Contemporary artists
– Projects
– Trains
– And much more.
