Alberto Mancini was born in 1978 in Trieste, Italy, and he has graduated from the I.E.D school of Transportation design based in Turin, Italy. 

His yachts design creations are shaped by his long experience of the sea, Alberto Mancini has salt in his veins, and passed his summer on board the family ketch, sailing around the Mediterranean. 

His professional growth and background has been characterized by 4 main design work experiences: 

The first one, in the 2000 with Officina Italiana Design, where he has been involved in such prestigious projects such as Aquariva33 and Rivarama44 and he had the opportunity to learn yachts proportions, and styling by Mauro Micheli official Riva’s designer. 

Then a second yacht design adventure came, and Alberto Mancini joined Ken Freivokh design team in the south of England ,where he has been involved in the design process of the famous 86 meter sailing yacht for Perini Navi Yard called “Maltese Falcon “, at this time, he had the chance to learn a lot about technics and management of the design process. 

It was 2004 when Alberto met Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard to collaborate on a sport Open yacht series for the prestigious boatyard “Cantieri di Sarnico”, Nuvolari & Lenard Studio has been a very important step to “learn by doing” and a manual training inside the shipyard. 

In 2006 Alberto Mancini started up a own studio as a designer and managing partner of Team 4 Design studio ,where he had the opportunity to design a completely new series of Flying Bridge Yachts: Dominator 720,  780 ( Winner of  World Yacht Trophies Cannes 2009 ), 885, 29M (built), 36M (built), custom and series production for Dominator shipyard in Fano.
